A wonderful property full of character in a tranquil setting, perfect for a relaxing break. Elizabeth & Len are excellent hosts; Elizabeth sent us round two or three dishes made from freshly-picked local produce, Len always happy to impart local knowledge and both keen to offer their help and advice if ever we needed anything. Great pool for a cooling dip, hot and sunny during the day, the only downside being a few nights of very high humidity. Lovely sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast and we managed to get an international rugby game in too. Maybe a little remote for a couple of active children but they did enjoy being able to take advantage of late nights, lie-ins and croissants for lunch!Thanks again to Elizabeth & Len, good luck with the rest of the season and we hope you have a good trip to the UK later in the year.
