It’s a nice place to stay, very close to the beach, although the tide goes out a very long way. My only gripe is that because it’s on the side of the original Lookover cottage with no windows on the entrance side there are no windows to be able to see past the back courtyard which is very pretty, but would have been nice to hear the sea from the cottage at night. Also if you need a firm bed as I do, the bed here is very soft and was part of the reason we left a couple of days early because I was in a lot of pain with an existing back injury. The owners are lovely and the cream tea left was much appreciated. Parking is easy outside the owners house and very easy to find.

Little Lookover is a super one bedroom house tucked away but beautifully situated - open the bathroom window and see the fabulous beach just a stone’s throw away. The lovely garden is filled with gorgeous flowers and shrubs and is a delightful sun trap. The owners are on hand if any (highly doubtful) problems arise.I would definitely book again.
