10 years on everything is exactly as I remember. It goes to show the effort the owners put in to running this place - everything was exceptional as expected and the personal touches left for us are the best we have experienced through many UK holidays. Many thanks - we will be back again!

Above and beyond with attention to detail, we felt as if we were staying on a retreat and thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each evening, after walking the adventurous coastal paths. Special thanks to Joy and Rod for a warm and welcoming stay, treats on arrival and safe space for our dog Grace.

We struggled to find the location using our Sat Nav, howeverâ what 3 words â is a free app to download onto your phone and will take you straight there. Rod & Joy the owners live next door and are lovely friendly people. This location is central to most areas. The accommodation is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need including a hot tub. The Sykes pictures do not do this accommodation any justice. The under floor heating works well from thermostats in each room.
