The accommodation was very clean with all amenities we required, including beautiful surroundings. A welcoming bottle of wine and chocolates was a lovely touch. The owners were very approachable with a friendly manner and pet friendly too. Looking forward to visiting in the future.

This was our second stay at The Follies and we will definitely be back.
This was our second stay at The Follies and we will definitely be back. It is a unique place with lovely character. The host is excellent, friendly and in close proximity, but not intrusive. The location is perfect for access to amazing beaches and seaside towns all along the coast. The accommodation is really comfy, warm, well equipped and the only thing we missed was good wifi access. Wish I was there now!

Lovely cottage from the outside you would not think there were two cottages.
Lovely cottage from the outside you would not think there were two cottages.
Very impressed, spotless clean, everything you could possibly need. Lovely and warm considering the brickwork being so thick. Land at the back to exercise our dog.
Great village with lovely pubs selling excellent food, a delicatessen and other shops.
Five minutes from the main road to all the coastal towns.
Highly recommend and will hopefully be back.
The owner Vicky was extremely pleasant and welcoming and we were greeted with wine, chocolates and milk a lovely thought.
