The property is located in a very rural area and getting to and from it can prove challenging. The local roads are very narrow and often require careful navigating. The countryside locally is beautiful and ideal if you like walking.

Excellent place for a large family get together. Very spacious rooms and a good layout meant it never felt crowded. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped for large gatherings. Beautiful location, tucked away near a farm, but a short drive back to civilisation. We had a lovely time here, the piano was a big hit (though I could have donRead moree without my nephew playing Elton John at 8am!). The owners were very friendly and helpful with any queries I had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Hide

Poorton Hill is a great property with high end facilities and heating and lots of room. Great location near lovely pubs and lots of walks. Coast only 25 mins away too.
