September Holiday
A quiet, comfortable, spacious and well equipped barn conversion with all that is needed for a restful holiday. Plenty of space for small children to run around, both indoors and outdoors. The area is a cliff walkers paradise but parking car parking is sometimes quite limited. Penny, the owner, was always about to give advice and the eggs were super fresh.

A great stay in a beautiful, comfy, home!
We loved our stay with Penny! The home had all the things we needed to be comfy and was really beautiful. The wood stove was great (might have contributed to some dust on the floor, but really a tiny issue)! We had intended to hike a lot but were rained out; no matter as we spent a lot of time just relaxing in this great house. Penny is also an incredible host. Very communicative and kind. She had to check on something in the house while we were out and was incredibly covid-safe, airing out the house in-between, wiping things down, etc.... We really appreciate that. Highly recommend staying with Penny!
