A great accommodation providing comfort and space. Set in a lovely quiet location with amazing coastal walks on your doorstep. The large garden was enjoyed in the warm weather we had and our dogs loved exploring safely. Friendly and helpful hosts. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

We have just returned from an Easter trip to this lovely home. The house is warm and cosy, we arrived to storms but we wouldn’t have known it from inside. A roaring wood burner, comfortable beds and fully equipped. The house is part of a working farm, we had lambs in the field next door and often on the driveway area too!We took our 4 dogs and they were truly exhausted by all the walks and new surroundings. We had fabulous weather and enjoyed lovely coffee stops and beach eateries. A great get away from the noise of life. The slow pace was just what we needed. Thank you Catherine, you have made a lovely retreat for holiday makers. We will return, probably next year for the next She Ultra!

Super holiday, warm welcome from Catherine, who was very helpful throughout our week's stay. Really relaxing break in beautiful location overlooking fields of sheep with their new lambs. Plenty of room, large front garden, well equipped and cosy farmhouse. Comfortable bed, large bathroom. Fantastic value. Great for our two dogs, who also had a fab time. Lots of great beaches nearby, nice and quiet this time of the year. Post office in the village and hotel and bar/ restaurant very welcoming. Other great options a short drive away.
