North & West Coast
Enjoy substantial comfort and hospitality in this gorgeous building overlooking the bay. The welcoming owners make an effort to run it along sustainable lines and breakfast features home-made spelt bread among other goodies. Good-sized rooms are traditionally styled; the separate 'coach house' twin is a lovely space.
Best is the spectacular walled garden, a gloriously peaceful haven; the palm trees are proof of the Gulf Stream's good work.
