We had a lovely stay with our 6 month old daughter. Mark and Alie were amazing and the views are fantastic. I would say you are about an hour from main locations like Woolacombe etc but this did not bother us too much. We would definitely stay again.

So quiet and cosy if you need a place to de stress and be surrounded by greenery and nature with just the sound of the birds this is the place for you.
