    The location was great. Nice and rural but a quick drive to the city centre. Everything you need in the batch and well presented, comfortable and warm. Would definitely stay again.

    Views out of all the windows, of fields of assorted farm animals, including to the beach over the road, where i spotted a sea lion. Spacious, light filled cabin with everything required. Not far up the road, lies a dairy in Brighton for bits and...
