Perfect Stay
Beautiful property with the most amazing view!The cottage itself is warm and cosy, Sarah the host, has thought of everything, there is even an air fryer! Beds are very comfortable. The interior is tastefully decorated. The welcome pack was very generous. We really didn’t want to leave!

Amazing place
Absolutely amazing cottage, really well stocked with everything you could conceivably need for a comfortable stay. The homemade cake and welcome pack of bread, milk, jam, orange juice and prosecco were fabulous. We had a blissful New Year with fireworks on the beach, a pub next door and the sound of the sea to wake up to. We loved it, thank you Sarah for the whole experience. Absolutely a five star property.

Wonderful location and cottage
This has to be the best cottage with the best view I’ve ever stayed in! With an added bonus of being next door to the pub! The whole process of checking in was easy, the cottage was clean and one of the best equipped places I’ve ever stayed! The cottage was spotless, cosy and beautifully decorated. I cannot recommend the hosts or the property enough.

Our happy place
Another fabulous stay at Galleon House. The house is stunning as are the views across the bay. We enjoyed swimming and walks on the beach. Sarah’s attention to detail is amazing, the beautiful decor dressed with hearts and flowers for Valentine’s was a lovely touch. The house has everything you need and more for a lovely stay. There was an amazing welcome pack, we especially loved the homemade cake, jam and Prosecco along side milk, juice, bread and butter. We’ve already booked to return.

The perfect location
A beautiful spotlessly clean cottage in the perfect location within the village. There is easy access to the beach, the village pub and the beach cafe. The layout of the accomodation allows great views over the sea, and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. This was our second visit and we will definitely look forward to returning.

Relaxing stay in beautiful space
This property is an absolute gem. From walking through the door we were instantly impressed with the overall cleanliness, tidiness, and homeliness of the place. It is small but was more than big enough to be comfortable for our party of four, and everything has been thought of, from the thoughtful welcome gifts, to a box of books and cupboards full of games as well as everything you could need and more for a comfortable stay. Beds were comfortable, linens clean, plenty of towels, loads of crockery, cutlery, kitchen items etc.

Another amazing stay for us at Galleon House. Definitely one of the best cottages we have stayed in. The views are so calming, we particularly love watching the sunrise and walking along the beach. Sarah is a fabulous host providing everything you need to make your stay a home from home. The welcome pack is outstanding, homemade cake & jam, bread, milk, butter, Prosecco and fresh flowers.

Short Break for a total rest
Just perfect. A short break to just do nothing but read, walk and look for fossils. The little things make the biggest impact. Herbs and spices to use when cooking. An excellent selection of cooking pots, pans and dishes. The cake and fizz and other fridge items all made it so much more than a ‘holiday house’. Just lovely. The beds are so comfortable The location is perfect.
