The castle looks out over kilometres of private coastline, and, to secure its privacy, the large estate which surrounds it ,is a nature reserve.
The family that has owned it for the last twenty eight years,rents it out when they are not there on holiday.
The entire Castle is available for the exclusive use of a maximum group of eight guests (ten by arrangement.)
There are four double suites, all with stunning views.
It is let on a staffed, self-catering basis. Breakfast is included. Various extra services including full catering, by arrangement.
The Castle on the Cliff is quirky and eccentric. It is decorated in a very casual, very comfortable, very relaxed way. Cushions are laid out every day on the palisaded clifftop terraces, so you can sunbathe listening to the waves breaking below.
