In a beautiful setting overlooking the harbour and castle, it was the perfect base from which to explore the many attractions of the Hook peninsula. Pristine beaches, historic ruins, abbeys and gardens were just some of the places to be explored, not to mention the historic Hook lighthouse itself. The house was lovely and cosy, a real home from home. And though we didn't get to meet Mary in person she sounded a lovely lady on the phone. The nights were so peaceful, I don't think I've slept as soundly in years. All told, a delightful stay.
