What guests are saying

We stayed here as a family - 9 of us all together , 3 being children The Scenic view from the property- spanning from the kitchen across dining table into lounge TV area are stunning and can sit there whether the weather is good or bad for hours.

Location is good - close to local village and shops. Tesco do delivery which saved us going out in the rough weather while we were there. We were here for 5 days and we had 3 days of sunny weather which was great especially when taking in the view. The property is spacious and plenty of room. 9 of us in the property still felt we were all far apart. Layout of the property is also great. I work remotely too running by own business - so WiFi was important and never had an issue even when winds were high (we were here around Storm Austin) We done bit travelling around - Lyme beach 20mins away - Monkey World 1hr away - and many local historic attractions are short drive away. If you get availability at this property. Book it Thanks
