Loved the vibe of Thames and all the quaint cottages, shops, cafes - would consider moving here.

Location excellent; house v cosy, clean, modern appliances, but in keeping with the time period.

The traffic noise of main highway to Coromandel was busy at times.

A beautifully renovated cottage, close to the coastal walkway and beach. We enjoyed relaxing here

9.0

The breakfast supplies were great. Linda had the cottage lovely and warm for us which we really appreciated. We thought the cottage was fitted out perfectly, a home away from home.

The cottage is next to a busy road so we found the Friday night traffic did interrupt our sleep. Saturday night wasn't as busy on the road.
