What guests are saying
We’ve stayed here several times and keep coming back.
It’s a lovely place in a beautiful location. It’s really well kitted out and a lovely space to relax in.
The cottage was in a perfect location to relax in the shade of the lovely garden.
To walk over the nearby hills and appreciate the geological significance and beauty of the Cove, where it was even possible to swim.
This is a lovely property with a well kitted out kitchen and comfortable furniture.
The conversion of the chapel is beautifully done and all of the furniture is of very good quality. The location is excellent and it’s a nice to stay in as it is to explore the local area which has a lot to offer with something for every interest. We’ll certainly be booking again. Some of the bedding was a little tired - I’ll bring a pillow or two next time. But this didn’t stop of from having a lovely stay!
