Excellent place in an excellent location. Furniture and fittings all tastefully done only issue we had was squeaky back door and rear gate coming off.
Penda cottage was wonderful. And we stayed in a storm and it was soo warm and cosy. The hampers, Christmas tree and Christmas treats were an added bonus. We didn't have any problems with the internet or wifi at all (there were some parts of the house you couldn't get phone reception - but it wasn't the end of the world). Kitchen was fully stocked, towels lovely and fluffy. Cannot rate it high enough. Beautiful location too.
Even in the November rain the place is wonderful. Great facilities in the cottage and even better views out over the Channel.
Lovely, well prepared building in stunning location.
Overall it was great and will come again. The sink in bathroom needed unblocking and the bag/filter for the hoover needed changing but other than that lovely 😊
Superb place to stay, although the heaters could do with being updated
Wonderful property, lots of space for the family, we loved the high ceilings gave us lots of space (so often holiday property’s are small cottages -not good for tall persons!). Property had all we needed and more. Great location and the fabulous view every day. 100% recommend this property.
Great cottage with everything you need. Amazing location.
Beautiful large holiday home in a spectacular location! It could be a little bit cleaner (dog hair on the sofa, lots of cobwebs in the bathroom, rubbers on the shower are brown). Nevertheless, we felt completely comfortable and would book again at any time! A pub and a beach restaurant with very good food can be reached in 10 minutes.
Penda Cottage was beautifully decorated and well equipped. The house keeper, Jan was excellent. However, there were a couple of negative things. Jan explained that the holiday cottages had been closed for several months whilst the lighthouse was being updated, but unfortunately, the skip full of rubbish outside our cottage had not been taken away as planned. We arrived on the Friday, and the skip was not removed till the Wednesday. The bench outside our cottage was broken, so we could not use it. The other disappointment was the welcome hamper from Rural Retreats. I think this is our sixth or seventh RR lighthouse holiday, and the welcome hampers have always been fantastic. We understand that the reduction of hamper contents is a policy decision which, presumably, is driven by a desire for cost saving. However, given the premium pricing of the property rentals, and the positive impact a quality hamper of locally sourced produce has upon arrival, we were disappointed to see your company had taken this approach.
A very comfortable holiday cottage in a beautiful location. Highly recommended

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful setting. Everything was spotless when we arrived and very well resourced. A lovely welcome basket was provided and good support from Jan the contact. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Excellent location with a great variety of walks starting on the doorstep. House very clean, warm and well equipped. Pub a short walk.
Beautiful cottage, amazing location, spotlessly clean and perfectly equipped!
Clean, comfy and warm. Dramatic location, particularly in stormy conditions!
Absolutely loved the cottage. We felt at home the minute we walked in and Jan was there to welcome us. Very cosy, especially during the storm! We were happily surprised by the complimentary hamper, which we did not expect to be so lavish for just a short break. Superb location and thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the weather. We would love to come bac one (sunny) day.
fabulous views. Very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Lovely welcome pack. Will definitely come back again
Absolutely amazing location, very scenic and peaceful. The cottage was very spacious, sparkling clean and comfortable. There was a gated area for the dog and our own private garden. Would definitely stay here again!
Excellent, warm, comfortable accommodation. The welcome hamper was excellent too!

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
