Perfect location for the kind of holiday we enjoy doing

Lovely presented cottage. Compact but everything you needed. Garden is beautiful and good size for our Collie with pretty views. There was building work on site that would have been helpful to know beforehand. Builder's were lovely but had to move their vehicles and equipment every time we needed to go out

The Hop House is perfect. The cottage is small but well laid out and equipped and the enclosed garden was great for our dog. It was just a shame about the weather, which for the first full week in September was awful.

Alison
Beautiful cottage. Great garden for the dog. Lovely area for walks, gorgeous beaches and good pubs!
David
Very well located property in excellent decorative order and with all necessary equipment for us. The Garden is properly enclosed so good for dogs. Many local walks, and a reasonable walk to Georgeham for a village shop and two pubs (the Rock was slightly the better for us but both very good) Recommended
