We really enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very comfortable and well kitted out. The village is very quiet but great for getting away from it all and amidst really beautiful moorland. Good access to seaside towns and good walking. Our hosts were helpful, friendly and unobtrusive.
