Chris
The views and surroundings are very peaceful with beautiful sunsets. We received a warm welcome from Carole and the milk, juice, cake, fruit, biscuits and fresh flowers were much appreciated. We had never been to this area before and enjoyed exploring the coast and countryside. Thank you again for your hospitality.
