Shower Room: Walk-In Shower, Toilet. Electric central heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Sitting out area with furniture. Parking for 1 car. No smoking. Please note: Fenced seacliffs 21 yards away.. The winding climb up the protected cliff face to the top rewards with the most magical of sea views; seen from many of the windows of the property. The Flag House was indeed where the flags were stored and outside was where the flag flew. Now it is a comfortable studio with spectacular sea views from every window. With steps up to the door, there is a small entrance area which opens into the main living area with a neat galley kitchen on one side and a dining table by the window. Waking up to watch the sea all around is the stuff of special holiday memories. Shop, pub and restaurant 3 miles.

A beautiful place to stay for a week, probably suitable for a single person. All very clean. much appreciated the light by the steps. Perfect nights sleep. wonderful views. Everything amazing. Just me and my camera. An amazing opportunity to step back from routine especially at the moment. I can recomend the Cottages wholeheartedly. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We really enjoyed our stay at The Flaghouse. The location is absolutely amazing and the views are fantastic. The cottage had everything we needed and was warm and comfortable. Considering the remote location we were pleasantly surprised by the very good WiFi. All in all a wonderful peaceful break and we're already thinking about when we can go back.

Quiet, peaceful, tranquil location for this cosy, well-equipped and comfortable property. Best of all? The stunning views when drawing the curtains each morning.
