Bower Cottage
Excellent cottage for a family gathering. However, please note that the small sofa and cushions, together with the rug had some animal hair.

A wonderful weekend away!
Our party had both Drackenorth Lodge and Bower Cottage for a birthday celebration long weekend in early October. Everything was wonderful - communication with the owner beforehand was timely and very helpful and we were delighted to meet her during our stay. Directions to the property are clear and the location is absolutely stunning. The properties are very well equipped for large groups with plenty of cutlery, crockery and glassware. The only tiny issue was that we ran out of loo roll by day 2! Having read the house manual we realised that we should’ve brought our own as only enough to cover the first day or two is provided, and I may have missed that in the advance information pack sent! Still a wonderful weekend though and I would highly recommend!

Nice remote location
Had to ask for a cork opener. Within miniutes of texting the owner, a cork screw was presented. That's what i call customer service.

Beautiful Cotrage in a Wonderful Location
There’s literally not a day goes by when either my parents in law or my children don’t ask me when we are going back! Given the 74 year age gap from the oldest to the youngest in our party everyone’s needs were covered and all had a lovely holiday. Near to the coast and other wonderful attractions and run by a lovely family who hosted us - it was just the perfect long weekend away.
