The view from Laburnham is just incredible, and your space is very private - nothing between you and the ocean. You can people-watch and breaker-watch on the glorious beach below via the plate glass barrier, or gaze out at the curving cliffs and the glittering expanse of ocean with tiny white boats here and there. The kitchen is very well equippeRead mored, the artwork is interesting, the beds are comfortable, everything works well. The hospitality gifts were quality as were the tea mugs - nice thin china with tasteful artwork. The bread-bin actually seals properly and keeps things fresh. The knives are sharp. And the beach itself has to be one of the loveliest in England. Not a scrap of litter, totally unspoilt and not at all crowded. As others have said, the track in and the descent to the beach are steep; not for those with mobility issues, but provided your legs are in good order it's totally worth the effort. Hide

The view is absolutely amazing and immediately sold the property to us. We saw a couple of reviews about access from the car space to the chalet down a long path so asked how we would cope. One of us is not great on legs and found the walk down and back very strenuous and challenging, particularly going down with mobility issues. It's roughly 40Read more0 yards of tarmacked finish but some gradients are circa 60 degrees. Because of this we're afraid we won't be able to stay again, however, it's great for younger more agile people looking for peace and quiet and amazing beach below. Hide

There were welcoming flowers, a loaf, cheese, grapes and wine on arrival. Views are lovely. Big sky. Big sea! Property better suited to spring and summer I think. Plenty of logs for stove in winter but still needed the two little electric radiators on all the time. Bring slippers if you're staying in winter as bare floorboards!
