A beautiful setting and a great break away. Bonus to have parking close to the property especially on a busy weekend. John was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Brilliant Host, great location, steep hill up to cottage. Cottage could do with an update as bed was broken, shower was intermittent as it kept indicating low pressure. Cottage could have been cleaner.

We had a lovely stay at the Pocket Watch and the photos don't do it justice! It has everything you need and is super close to the beach, beautiful walks, the pub and shop - it even has a secret garden with the most stunning views. The owner made us really welcome and couldn't be more helpful. We will definitely be staying again. :-)
