A beautiful cottage inside and out, located overlooking the sea and in the centre of the village. Everything is of the highest standard and finish. Excellent kitchen with top rate facilities and lounge is most comfortable. But most important is the consideration by the management. Highly recommended.

I first stayed in The Haven with my family in 1986 then 87 and 88, so 2026 saw a return 40 years on. Its great charm has been maintained, and now modernised to a high standard.
