“Loved staying at Hitchens Cottage.”
I got a call from the owner, Sally, before I left to let me know the cottage was ready early. Sally is really friendly. I popped a text to her midweek just to say I was enjoying my stay. Sally checked I was warm enough as it was stormy. Heating is so easy to adjust. I felt comfortable and safe. There was plenty of room in the lounge and bedrooms for my Greyhound's bed. Micky settled well which normally takes a while.
The cottage was super-clean. I did my best when I left, but sure I didn't meet the standard I found the cottage in!
The purpose of my break was peace and good walks with Micky. This fit perfectly. There was minimal noise from the surrounding properties, barely noticeable. Our preferred walks along the cliffs meant no traffic and actually, very few people and dogs as they were mostly on the beach. Those I did meet were very friendly. Although there are plenty of sights to see, I just wanted to enjoy the immediate area, explore and relax. Found a nice, circular walk, although at one point the edge of the cliff was a bit too close for comfort. Was sad to see the erosion. We made our way to the lighthouse too.
I highly recommend Hitchens cottage.
You will need to take things like cooking oil and sauces/ketchup if you use them but there is salt and pepper on the table. There was a pint of milk and some very tasty biscuits on arrival that I enjoyed. The only negative is that I couldn't reach the coat hooks without going full stretch (there is a portable step in the kitchen if needed) :)
