We had a lovely stay at The Snug. We were lucky with the weather & so able to complete all our planned walks of the South West Coastal Path. The Cottage was perfect for us although as the name suggests it's snug!Maybe a few more mugs/forks/glasses would be helpful, but all perfectly adequate.

Lovely little place in a beautiful location, everything you might need for a short stay. It is called The Snug and if you are over 6ft there is some ducking involved. Parking takes some getting used to!
