A very comfortable clean cottage, in a perfect location with lovely views of the harbour. When hiding from the heat in the middle of the day, even the Scrabble had all its letters! We couldnt ask for more, thank you :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ferry Knoll, it is a very comfortable cottage in an excellent position. Having a residents parking space was very useful. We walked for miles from the cottage, with no need to move the car. The Bell pub is very convenient and serves good food. We especially enjoyed the 'Pie and Pint' night.

This was our fourth stay in this cottage and we love it! It is comfortable, clean and in a perfect location. My only reservation about highly recommending it is that you won't be able to fit us in again in the future!!! Very much looking forward to staying again if you will have us please.
