Snook Point is a beautiful spacious, light and airy accommodation, with great views out to the sea , in a secluded peaceful location. Bedrooms are nicely decorated with lovely views, kitchen dining area is lovely and living room is spacious and comfortable. Lots of outside garden space. Amazing sunsets , beautiful nearby cove for swimming 10 min walk over the dunes. Loved everything and booked to come back next June.
Robert
Peace and quiet in a rural setting with access to local walks across the fields. Wildlife interest. Sea views. Not too far from Low Newton and the Ship Inn and beaches Although some features are dated everything works well. Plenty of space. We would definitely return there.
Cherry
Absolutely lovely cottage in a stunning location. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. Comfortable, warm and charming. Thank you.
Katherine
A great cosy and comfortable cottage with views of the sea. Very quite location with walks along the coast from the door.
We loved our stay. It is an idyllic spot .We had fabulous weather and could just walk to the beach.The cottage was comfortable and well equipped.We loved the garden.Our granddaughter played cricket tennis etc on the lawn.It was lovely to wake up to super weather fantastic views and comfortable surroundings.
Alison
A wonderful situation for us, quiet, comfortable and with stunning sea views. Walking and watching wildlife are our main activities along with simply sitting out and enjoying the views. Snook Point has it all. There were roe deer, hare, two barn owls, skylarks and sea birds. All seen from, or very close to, the cottage. We had two very minor issues, keeping the kitchen well ventilated from boiler smells and needing a mattress topper for my old bones! Both easily dealt with and neither would prevent a return visit! One reviewer said that the photos don't do the property justice.... they are right. We loved our week's stay. Thanks
Cherry
A fantastic cottage in a lovely part of the country. We loved our stay and found everything comfortable and easy. The views were super and the access to the beaches wonderful. The wildlife added extra magic. Thank you.
Snook point is a lovely cottage in a very quiet setting, great views and only a short walk to a sandy beach, lots of coastal walks. The cottage was as described, warm and cosy with everything we needed. Only slight complaint is that the mattress was not comfortable.
Lovely cottage with everything we needed in the kitchen and elsewhere. We needed the heating on our last evening as the weather worsened and it was very efficient and cosy. The coal fire would be great in the colder months. The squeaky floor in the kitchen became a little annoying but it wouldn't stop us going back there. We think the owners must be very tall to reach the high kitchen cupboards! But we managed with the stepladder. The location was fabulous and we loved the peace and tranquillity in High Newtonbythesea. We met a couple of the neighbours who were friendly and very helpful.
All perfect. In fact, better than we expected from the photos. You're not doing yourself justice! And Football Hole beach is wonderful.

As soon as we drove up to Snook Point Cottage we knew were going to enjoy our stay. The cottage is well maintained, well equipped and comfortable. It is situated in a very quiet place but within easy walking distance from the sand dunes, a beautiful beach and the village pub. What more could you want? We will definitely be coming back.
Stayed at Snookpoint many times over the years. Sadly I lost my dear wife Jill March 21. But I will continue returning. The cottage hasnt changed too much over the years . And in some ways thats why we loved it. Always clean. The setting perfect. Please stay the same Snookpoint.
We had a lovely stay, the cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is exceptional, it&39s beautiful, peaceful and right on one of the loveliest stretches of coastline.
Loved the setting. Sea view and lots of wildlife. Cottage clean, cosy and comfortable.
Fantastic location. Cosy. Warm. We&rsquove been here many times and it remains our favourite cottage in which to stay in this area. Wouldn&rsquot wish to stay elsewhere.
A lovely property in a beautiful setting with stunning views. Just what we had hoped for. We have been coming to the area for over 20 years and this is the nicest place we have stayed in all that time. A perfect combination of peace and calm, with everything close by.
Beautiful well equipped cottage with cosy fire and very efficient heating. The views from all sides are amazing. Good pubs within walking distance and easy pleasant walk to the beach. We loved it and have returned several times. Lots to do in the area.
Peaceful, cosy and warm. Sea views. Ten minute walk to a beautiful crescent shaped beach.
Snook Point Cottage was even better than we hoped. It is cosy, light and sunny, feels like you are on the edge of the world although actually in a small enclave of cottages very quiet and within a few minutes stroll of the village and lovely beach. Great sea views, and well equipped. We appreciated finding the heating on when we arrived on a chilly afternoon. Would definitely return can&39t wait.
