Excellent location, very comfortable and quiet. Within walking distance of Babacombe beach, cliff walk and pubs and restaurants. Our dog loved her walks and a bonus was the field behind the property. Would highly recommend.

The house was great, perfect size for our family. The location was perfect for all of our daily activities on the coast and moors. There was one bit about the house that made a big difference and that was the back gate in the garden onto the cricket pitch, cliff walks and also down to Babbacombe beach. With a dog this made life really easy for walkRead mores and great views. Hide
