“Great location about 10 mins walk to centre of town with free parking. Very spacious house very clean and tidy and very nice welcome basket with M&S products. Relaxing terrace area to rear although quite a few steps up to reach but super views. Also a nice little seating area in the front garden just outside the house”.

We have just returned from a 4 night break at Cedar House and absolutely loved it. The house was absolutely spotless and had every single thing you could wish for. It was lovely and cozy and really spacious and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Location wise it was perfect for local sightseeing and beaches and the Italian restaurant that’s a minute walk away was amazing. Paul was really responsive and all his in…

A beautiful apartment with lovely views across the estuary. The walk from the town is about 10mins and fine without a lot to carry. It’s quite a long incline. Not steep though. And it’s definitely worth it when you get there! Super comfortable and the photos don’t do it justice! We had a great stay and would certainly book it again. The park and ride is very efficient and we left the car there and used the many mode…

Solstice is a lovely house near to restaurants, with an amazing view and we’d certainly like to return. Clearer instructions for rubbish disposal would be useful, as the bins in the garage weren’t labelled. The property has lovely quality crockery and nice big towels! The stairs to the top floor are very steep, so not suitable for everyone.

“Absolutely amazing place – such a unique and beautiful place to stay. The Captain’s Cabin exceeded our expectations. The bonus was being able to go downstairs into Alf-Rescos cafe and have wonderful breakfasts from 7am – which meant we could set off early on our walks. I’d really recommend this place. It’s fabulous. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. A five star review from us and we can’t wait to go ba…

Spectacular waterside view. Unique. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. We had a really wonderful time. I would recommend taking some of your own logs, there was only enough for 1 short fire for a 2 night stay.

Our stay was a perfect base for a family holiday. The nearness of the beach a definite asset especially when you have a 3 year old with you! You could easily pop back if something had been forgotten. Despite the time of year we had glorious weather; it seems to have it’s own micro climate which left us mostly sunny and dry whilst most other places had rain? This enabled the extended family to gather for evening meal…

Wonderful cabin, so peaceful and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything one could need for food preparation and dining. Beds are comfortable and spotless. Warm and comfortable. Perfect bathrooms. The surroundings are beautiful and all you can hear is the stream in the distance and the whisper of the wind and the trees. Paul replied promptly each time I asked questions.

What a beautiful place Spindrift is! We enjoyed a wonderful family weekend there, plenty of space indoors and outdoors. Would highly recommend to anyone for a family or friends break!
