My wife and I, two grown children and their spouses spent 10 nights at Blue Charm and we recommend it highly. The view is spectacular, the house is warm and cozy with all amenities and the service and responsiveness of the owner was the best we've ever experienced. (We do holiday homes at least once a year.) |

Our vacation at Blue Charm Cottage surpassed our expectations. The house was beautiful inside and out. The flowers were blooming in the garden and the view was amazing. We enjoyed every moment... more |

This holiday was perfect. Breathtaking views, peaceful location and a clean, comfortable house. Cathy the owner welcomed us on arrival, fresh flower arrangements in all the rooms, bottle of wine and chocolates..... just lovely. The garden areas are beautiful with the boat house and pier an added bonus. Although, not catching any fish there was a few that "got away" Great walks and beaches a short car journey away. We all had a fantastic time. |
