Tom's Days Out

We had the most amazing family break staying at Tom's cottage. The lovely furnished rooms made it feel like home. With really spacious rooms and very well equipped. Such a great stay, loved every minute and can't wait to go back.

We had a wonderful 10 days at Tom’s cottage, it was a lovely place to stay and our toddler particularly enjoyed the big garden. Great place to be near lots of great beaches. We would definitely recommend it and would love to come back one day.
