Great converted barn with everything you need to enjoy a great getaway. Easy to get to great coastal walks and beaches, used some of the recommended walks. Great field at the back to give the dog a run around in. Would have been fabulous to have had patio doors or even just a door that opened out to that view .. would have been the icing on the cake to sit out and watch the sun set. There are benches within the field to use. Really enjoyed our stay and hosts very welcoming.
