Can't fault this little gem. As a CL, they really have thought of everything and everyone was so friendly. The indoor swimming pool and pick-your-own herb garden were nice touches. Would highly recommend and look forward to a return visit.

Beautiful surroundings, lovely accomodation, the owner is really nice and helpful, great swimming pool too! We're hoping to go back again soon. Nice and near the town too so you can pick up shopping (or have it delivered) or go to the local chippy. Also, a short drive to the beach.

Incredible place! Perfect location. Wonderful owners and a private indoor swimming pool in case the great British weather doesn't play fair! Highly recommended.
