A really lovely place to stay

Thanks Viv and Rob for a wonderful stay at your delightfully appointed house. There was nothing left wanting and we enjoyed every aspect of it. All the bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The living area was delightful and made day tripping almost a chore as We didn’t want to leave the view. Thank you for sharing with us

House with a view

The pictures of the inside of this house don't do it justice, it was a lovely bright space with wonderful views over the bay. A perfect place to simply relax or entertain with a BBQ overlooking the sea.

Fantastic property with panoramic outlook

A well appointed and very private property that offers a very comfortable stay. Considerate and responsive hosts make this a very easy property to recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Vivienne Burrough

The house was purpose built for us in 2006. At the time I had my leg in plaster and so the house has been built with wide doors and showers for wheelchair users. Only 2 small steps to get into the house from a drive that runs right up to the front door- wide entrance. We currently live in Singapore but our daughter looks after the property.
