Had a little bank holiday weekend getaway, with my family, this place is amazing if you have younger children like us, the animals were great, we stayed in Foxglove, and we were having breakfast outside with the goats, the children loved it, the place had everything you needed. The hosts gave us local info on the best beaches which didnt disappoint. The stay was that great that my children cant wait to come back, in fact they wanted to move in.

A lovely, comfortable and spacious cottage in a beautiful setting with fantastic views over the countryside but only a few miles from the coast and town. We had everything we needed for a relaxing break, enjoyed local walks and loved watching the goats outside our patio. Would definitely like to return to Foxglve Cottage.
