Our large 4 bed home was well equipped with a hot-tub ready to go and a useful complimentary set of logs and kindle for the log burner. Virtually next door were two great pubs. Further out were those stunning cliff top walks we were seeking. The cottage and the location were the key to another successful break away and whilst it did have steep narrow steps in some parts that was never going to interfere with our enjoyment of a proper home from home. Would we go back?- yes we would and would recommend you try this one out yourselves too. Dave & Debbie and the gang.
Mary
Very Pleased and we would recommend it. It suited all the family. There was everything we needed. We would have liked to stay longer. Tastefully refurbished plus all mod cons. Lots of different levels but it was not difficult to move around. Not suitable for a wheelchair user but our 78 year old was fine and loved it.
Paula
Would definitely rebook if revisiting the area.
