This is our second time using this holiday home. Its just lovely! You can see the sea from upstairs and down. Its very cosy. The owners have thought about everything you might need including a fabulous backpack for hikes. Well situated for coastal walks right from your doorstep. This one has become a favourite of ours😊

Mainbrace certainly exceeded our expectations. The accommodation is beautifully appointed and had every piece of kitchen equipment needed and more! The welcome basket was absolutely lovely and far more than we expected - very generous, thankyou.There are lovely views from the accommodation and it is only a short 5 minute walk downhill to the harbour. It is also only a few feet away from the South West Coast path and only a 1/4 mile walk to Port Gaverne, which is also lovely. Not all eateries/shops were open as we stayed from 19-26 December, but there were enough open for us to 'eat out'. We visited the old school house, the chapel and the Golden Lion and enjoyed meals in all! It was lovely and peaceful when we stayed - a complete getaway for Christmas to enjoy the wildlife and scenery.
