Roosters Rest is comfortable accommodation set in the countryside, a mile from the coast. It is remote and reached by a single track road. The location is good for visiting local towns and attractions. We can highly recommend The Story of Emily - an amazing experience. We would have given a 5 star review but the outside of the holiday cottage let it down - it could do with sprucing up!

A really lovely little place that gave us a great long weekend of relaxing in peace and quiet without the rush of everyday life. The air con was very welcome mid heatwave and we had a very comfortable stay. Thank you Guy, we will be back again soon.
