    We were moved to an alternative property for our visit which was absolutely fine as The Nook was absolutely stunning! Beachcliff is a gorgeous complex in the perfect location, just opposite the pier and beach. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves was magical! I can’t wait for our next stay here as we will definitely be back!

    Incredibly comfy sofas. Light and airy. Warm. Lots of space. Plentiful hot water. Gorgeous sunrise visible through the skylight windows. Nearby bakery. Lots of loo roll :-) Lovely owner. About half an hour walk into town and a 10-minute drive to the beaches around Sully Island and the incredible views over the channel. Park at Lavernock Point and walk round on the beach - check tide times.
