Hobhey- June 2011
"What an absolutely stunning property. Situated on the cliffs, the first floor lounge has a glass gable end that provides the most incredible views over the sea. It is a five minute walk from the village centre and beach.The house was immaculate and everything we could have needed was there. Even a doggy welcome pack!Dog friendly, although our golden retrievers could easily jump over the garden wall!!!I would highly recommend this property. The fact that it is almost completely booked up for the year speaks for itself...""
