Tranquil Hideaway in Stunning location
What a find! This is such a homely and comfortable cottage run by lovely hosts. Memories include a stunning walk along the coast, fish and chips at the seafront, cream teas, cider at the nearby hotel and idle lounging at the cottage looking out to sea.

Lovely peaceful setting, quality accommodation
We had a lovely stay at Martinhoe Cleeve. The cottage is in a stunning position overlooking the valley. It was exceptionally clean and provided everything we could possibly need. The hosts Alan and James had left some lovely welcoming treats which were much appreciated. We had a very relaxing and quiet break here. Thankyou.
