Guestbook
Arrived full of the stresses and strains of the modern world. Leaving today completely chilled! Highlights include the 3 baby deer who casually wandered through the front garden, and That View! And of course the wonderful welcome from Sandy and David. ...can safely say this is the best accommodation and location we have found so far..loved the extra touches; fresh flowers, home-made scones, log fire on for our arrival. ...it's a special place and we will certainly return. We recommend a walk along the beach; timing it right all you will hear is the sound of lapping water.
