Charming Cottage
Lovely cottage, beautifully furnished, comfortable and spotlessly clean.
Lovely deck area in the back garden for morning sun, coffee and relaxing.
Very close to the beach (3 mins walk) and extensive coastal paths. Great food and drinks can be had at the lovely Zetland Arms.

What was supposed to just a stopover before going on the ferry turned out to be a highlight of our holidays: a charming Cottage, fully equipped, lovingly decorated and well maintained plus that cosy little village of Kingsdown plus the gorgeous landscape at your doorstep! Next time we will stay for a longer period.
P.S.: Don‘t miss out the Kings Head, great pub, great Food!

Short stay at Lilac cottage’
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay , the cottage was extremely well equipped with everything there we needed.
We would have just 2 criticisms
1/ whilst we were lucky with the weather this meant the kitchen got unpleasantly hot because of the glass fanlights , we felt either blinds or a ceiling fan would have helped
2/ whilst we appreciate no parking was made clear we hadn’t realised you couldnt even unload outside the cottage
Other than that we and especially our dog loved the cottage and the local area with some great walks and a very good lunch at the Zetland Arms!
Hopefully we would like to return sometime
