Our plan had been to explore the surrounding area,... More

A truly beautiful place to stay with a tranquil atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and luxurious with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and down to the sea. Everything is spotlessly clean and the guest sitting room is comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast is included in the price. Expect a breakfast with a difference. No regular fry-up here but delicious sophisticated... More

John & Natalie are excellent hosts who have an eye for detail that you wouldn't get in many other accommodations. Biscuits and chocolates in a large comfortable room with proper sized shower gel &...
