The Studio Barn is very comfortable and quiet. It's ideally situated to explore the area with its beautiful coast line and country side. If you are considering a holiday here I would recommend being a member of the National Trust as there are many places and car parks in the area run by them. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Studio Barn.
