Our second visit here and it didnât disappoint, wonderful selection of goodies waiting for us , fresh flowers in a vase and wine in the fridge! Thank you Jo, the coffee and walnut cake was epic! This really is an exceptional holiday let and we would highly recommend it. Wonderful walks and wildlife on the doorstep, a great pub, the Golden Lion, offering great food and a warm welcome just up the road, fantastic beaches nearby, it really is an ideal location. We look forward to a return visit.

All the comforts of home. Lots of long walks on hills and coast and short walks to excellent eateries. The little extras provided by Jo make all the difference. We will definitely be back.
