Lovely cottage in a great location. Seashore very close but some annoying steps if there are mobility problems. Local pub 'The Sailors Home' has a delicious menu (beautifully cooked and more than reasonably priced) and a large selection of even more delicious cask ales. Chippy, Chinese both good. Adequate shops in village but a large shopping esRead moretate a few minutes down the A12. Too many beautiful places to mention. Owner, Michelle and helper Elaine more than willing to assist where necessary. Hide
