Lovely stay. Great owners. Very helpful
John
Very calm, comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage right in the middle of the harbour area. Very much enjoyed our stay thankyou
Lynn
Loved the location, being able to look down to the harbour while having our breakfast. We walked everywhere, local eating places were excellent, fresh fish straight off the boat! Lovely cottage to come back to after a day out in the fresh air, beds really comfy too
David
We really enjoyed our stay in Quay Cottage - it's in a great location close to the harbour and sea front and is well-equipped and tastefully furnished.
Susan
We had a lovely week - good base for visiting Lundy, beaches round the coast (Lee) Marwood Hill gardens and National Trust. Location is good, cottage clean and cosy.
