Reviews of Coastguard Cottage
A very enjoyable stay at a first class property and a positive experience for us in self catering – John from United Kingdom (9/10)
Our first impression was the cleanliness of all the amenities were, compliments to your host cleaner.
The cottage has been designed to the highest of standards with the surroundings perfect for a stroll for us older generation.
Our son who arranged this is a seasoned self catering family as they have a dog, we have not done so in 40years.
Even local pub ( Gun In ) outside facilities were quiet.
We did try to leave the premises in a tidy condition and had no mishaps, we only prepared breakfasts as we dined out every evening as it was our wedding anniversary.
When our son was very young was when we last self catered in the Barton/Highcliffe area.
We have already recommended your facilitiesReally great short break with friends and dogs. – Denise from United Kingdom (9/10)
