Pyg Pen cottage is in the most idyllic location,peaceful but within 10 mins drive to stunning beaches and coastal walks.It’s clean,modern,very well equipped and super comfortable and homely.There is parking for 2 cars right outside the cottage.The garden is great after full days out exploring and has a fabulous undercover seated area to enjoy regardless of the weather.We had 1 dog with us so felt totally happy he was secure in the fenced garden area.The beds are comfortable and the rooms spacious with ample wardrobe and drawer space.The bathroom and ensuite shower rooms are really good with lots of hot water available at all times.Our host was very responsive to any messages/questions we had.The Horseshoes Inn in Rennington is worth a visit.The food we ate there was delicious & very friendly staff & locals.We would absolutely love to stay again at Pyg Pen and without doubt recommend this beautiful cottage to family & friends.
