Beech is ideal for couples and families with three bedrooms sleeping up to five guests. The ‘upside down house’ as our girls used to call it, has the living/dining room and kitchen on the first floor, perfect to take advantage of the rural views across the valley. Relax in the armchair with the sun shining through the open french doors and listen to the birds as they go through their daily routine.

Once chilled you can be on the beach or walking on the moor in around 15 minutes, to return to warm by the open log fire in the living room. Beech is at the left end of the cottages, adjoining Ash Cottage, has its small seating area to the front – a great sun trap – and a few steps to the bbq and children’s’ playing field. Those over 6′ should beware of low beams on the ground floor.
