We love this place, it’s our second stay here… it's really comfortable, well heated, there's a fantastic view from the bed of the gardens, of the ever-changing sea and shoreline, and the Welsh coast glimpsed across the Bristol Channel. And a few minutes down the hill is the Ship Inn (great food.... We love this place, it’s our second stay here… it's really comfortable, well heated, there's a fantastic view from the bed of the gardens, of the ever-changing sea and shoreline, and the Welsh coast glimpsed across the Bristol Channel. And a few minutes down the hill is the Ship Inn (great food and atmosphere) and the Harbour Cafe. Walks from the door to Culbone, Bossington, and plenty a little further afield too.
