Coast path accommodation for walkers, families & outdoor enthusiasts

The Hideaway is an adaptable space that can host up to fifteen people — you pay only for the rooms you use. Three en-suite family-sized rooms make it perfect for multi-generational getaways and mixed families, while single families, couples and small groups are equally at home.
Sea View Pods
Two camping pods, one uninterrupted view
Our two camping pods each sleep two adults comfortably, with room for one or two children on pull-out beds. The neighbouring pods sit within their own section of garden overlooking the sea, with a dedicated toilet and shower block close by, and a food preparation area with washing-up facilities and a fridge.
