My hosts Jaime and Sarah, were very welcoming, responsive and helpful. Their home is warm and cosy, spotlesly clean, with everything you could need. With the added bonus of parking. A great location, to walk to a stunning beach and the SW Coast Path. served by a few buses and close to many attractions. I highly recommend here and would love to visit again. Thank you Debbie
