    We wanted to spend a week over the Christmas holiday with our family with plenty of space and tranquility and this property was perfect for that. Waking up on Christmas Day with the views across the sea felt very special. The views are spectacular and change all the time as the sun and clouds move. The place was so clean and warm, with very comfortable beds. We had the option of 2 wood burning stoves but didn’t need to use them. There is plenty of seating and areas to be apart if desired. Everywhere has beautiful decor and has been well thought out. It was great to be able to wander across the fields to the coastal path and walking in the area is very enjoyable. Thank you Jane for the welcome goodies and we look forward to seeing you again as we have booked to return in June/July for 2 weeks.
