Cragowlet House East
By Ramona Wilke on 10-Aug-2026We felt at home and really enjoyed our stay with Brian! The welcome is very warm! The house is particularly beautiful, entirely in the Victorian style, incredibly cosy and very well equipped! Brian took good care of us, gave us lots of valuable tips for trips in the area, and you could tell that it was very important to him that we felt comfortable :) The small beach right outside the door is really lovely for walks. The house is beautifully located, right on the waterfront with a beautiful garden! Thank you for everything, dear Brian. We would be delighted if we could come back again one day! :)
Cragowlet House East
By Rachael Whetstone on 01-Sep-2026A beautiful place to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle in peaceful, scenic surroundings, which can be admired from the huge bay windows of the apartment, or from the spacious garden at the front of the house. Brian was responsive and helpful during our stay, and we enjoyed chatting with the friendly neighbours. Within the apartment, the furnishings are ornate and elegant, and the kitchen well equipped with everything you need. The mattresses were also incredibly comfortable and the showers were great. There is no denying that the apartment is stunning and very tastefully decorated. Due to the tall ceilings and creaky floorboards, it could sometimes be a little echoey - which of course are part of the style and charm of this beautiful listed building - but could possibly be partially alleviated with the addition of some soft furnishings (thick curtains/rugs) to absorb some of the sound, but this was only a minor observation we had.
