Excellent location for total peace and rest from the busy everyday life.I am aware some reviews complain about the cleanliness but honestly it was only a bit of dust and with harvesting going on, it’s to be expected.The views were amazing and only a short walk or drive to local shops, pubs and magnificent beaches where there are lots of wild life to see.Given we went later in the season we simply took a flask and snacks and sat watching the world go by on one of the many beaches.We had are dog with us who loved the freedom of the garden, warmth of the open fire and running free on the beaches.My only niggle was the bed was a tad old and lumpy, but other than that a fab Croft I’m sure we’d visit again.
