Lovely peaceful rural home looking down on the sea. Hosts very attentive and we loved having fresh milk for our tea instead of long-life! Breakfast wonderful, fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, etc plus a traditional English!! Didn't have an evening meal here but heard the menu next morning and we're wishing we had another night! Bed really comfortable.
