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. :-)
