We are a family home which rents out accomodation to Airbnb guests, and share space with workaway volunteers. The large downstairs double bedroom (size 15x13 feet/4.5x4 metres) has TV with DVD player and adjacent private shower room and toilet. You will also have your own private terrace with views of the mature garden and the sea. We have a second smaller upstairs room primarily for Hypnotherapy
consultations. We provide towels, hair dryer, alongside complimentary shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. There are coffee and tea making facilities in your room and snacks too (Ellemiek loves baking :-). We can also provide lunch and dinner on request (from GBP 10.00 per person. Options include Thai green curry, spaghetti bolognese, vegetarian Moroccan bean stew and home made soup with home made bread rolls, followed by ice cream with home made brownies. If there is anything else you may need, feel free to ask, we would be happy to help. The rooms are part of a 5 bedroom historic Victorian villa occupied by the family. Cars are parked on our land by our double garage, then it is a short walk 140 feet/40 metres down a gravel slope drive to our secluded house. The Botanic Gardens is only a few minutes walk and there are several beaches closeby too. One of our favourites is Steephill Cove where they sell fantastic crab pasties. Guest Access
