We enjoyed staying in this lovely converted barn. It is an attractive and well equipped property and the bed was very comfortable. There is ample parking and the instructions to reach the property were clear. The roads around the farm are small so we were glad to have followed the owners directions rather than the Satnav. The owner is helpful and fRead moreriendly, but respected our privacy. We would definitely stay there again. Hide

A good property in a very remote location, great for getting away from it all. Full amenities and a comfortable bedroom. Typical narrow lanes to get to and from the property. Check the tide tables as the near by beach disappears at a spring tide.
