Great Family sized Batch
We only had three adults in the Batch to attend a wedding locally but it could easily cater well for a family looking for a base with good facilities and a good location along this part of the coast.

A perfect base
Location was the first priority for us as it was twenty minutes away from family we were visiting. But regardless Leigh was a great place to start our holiday. Nice walks, lots to see just a short drive away. Returning after a days adventures we felt very much at home. plenty of space, good facilities and comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend it. Ideal family accomodation.

Wedding
We booked the accommodation for two nights stay as we had a wedding to attend in Leigh. Great location and beautiful views. House was perfect for our small group of 8. Plenty of rooms and sleep out had own ensuite with laundry which was ideal. General store just up the road and the Sawmill cafe perfect location for dinner and drinks. We all enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking this house again in the near future.
