"This was perfect for our mixed age family. A short walk to the stony beach and near SeaLife Centre and Lodmore Country park. The garden was beautiful and all 11 of us could sit around the large table or relax in the other seating. We were very lucky to have the most amazing weather and apart from sleeping and cooking spent all our time in the garden. If it had been wet, the communal areas might have been a little cramped but we would not hesitate to return"
