Cottage Review:  

An idyllic, picturesque, detached, thatched cottage set in pleasant and private "wrap around" garden. The interior is generally in good condition and offers a nice quirky layout with rooms of a good size for a property of this nature. The kitchen is far better equipped than ours at home, there is a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, racks to hang washing on and the TV is of the current century. In short we had all of the utilities that we required and more. Dogs are welcome and the garden is well enough secured that you can let them in and out unsupervised without fear that they will wander off to the local livestock! Access to the well-kept, peaceful garden is via a nice south facing conservatory, there are neighbours on either side of the detached property but the garden of the cottage and those of the neighbouring properties are large enough and mature enough that you are not really aware of them. The location won't be to all tastes but it was exactly what we were looking for, quiet and peaceful on a narrow, country lane, approximately one mile from the nearest shop/pub and one mile from the beach. In the interest of balance, the negatives (and these are only really suggestions for improvement) are that we could have done with some "lounging" furniture in the garden (there is a table and chairs but nothing to lay back on). Having to bring our own towels was also a little annoying, the property is at the expensive end of the country cottage market and it wouldn't hurt the agency to leave clean towels on their between guests visit. I suspect that the majority of the visitors to Amberwood are families, it's well stocked with games, dvd's and table tennis but the location and setting was perhaps better suited to people like us; a city couple holidaying in the UK with our dog and looking for the sort of peace, quiet and solitude that you wouldn't get in development of holiday cottages or apartments. The many coast walks in the area are really beautiful as are the beaches at Hope Cove and South Milton. Hope Cove is the nearest community about one mile away and is very small quiet village. Had we been staying with children the walk to Hope Cove, on a steep country lane without pavements might (only might!) have left me wishing we'd stayed somewhere closer to the beach but for us the slightly more remote location of the cottage was perfect. I highly recommend Amberwood to all kinds of visitors but particularly to city folk looking for a bit of peace, quiet and solitude within the UK.
