River cottage is a very quaint traditional cottage, with beautiful views of the sea and the mountains. Nick was a great host, he responded quickly to any questions and left lots of helpful information about the house and the area. On occasion we could get fusty/damp smell but that's because likely because its an old cottage so definitely recommend turning on the heat. Heating is an extra cost and you need it for hot water but it wasn't expensive when we stayed. The cottage was spotlessly clean, great hot shower and the beds were very comfortable. There is a short walk behind the cottage on a quiet country lane towards the mountains (less than half a mile) with great views down to the sea. This is the only safe place to walk beside the house, the main road is too busy in my opinion. But its only a short drive to Inch beach and the local shop. The house had all the equipment and kitchen ware that we needed for cooking family meals, great big fridge. There were no basic condiments so bring everything with you if you plan to cook. If you're looking for a nice quiet cottage with plenty of space and in a convenient location, River Cottage is a great choice.
