The large south-facing terrace looks out over the beautiful bay. The house and surrounding garden are completely enclosed and child safe. Beyond the garden lie a further six acres of private grounds, providing ample space to play and explore among the wild flowers and boulders.

Within the grounds stands a secluded stone watch hut from where coastguards have observed the bay for centuries, and from where guests can do the same today undisturbed.
