A wonderful find , close to the beach and main street. Quite clean and very welcoming .|Hosts are absolutely lovely. |National trust sites are a delight to visit and lots of really good restaurants in walking distance. If you fancy a treat drive to Cattlemans, we'll worth the 10 minutes drive.

The perfect quadruple room for a family stay and if you want some separate space at a very reasonable price and with parking available. We stayed enroute to Cornwall and the location is perfect, very close to the beach and restaurants/ bars. The hosts Steve and Claire are friendly and welcoming and kindly held on to some items I accidentally left in the rush with the kids. Hope to see you again soon!
