Some comments from our Visitors Book
June 2010 - Palmer - WOW! What a wonderful house. Nice & roomy. Kids loved it, fishing & chilling to music. We loved all the original ideas, scones & flowers. Our wedding at The Tunnels was a dream, we were even honoured to have a spectacular sunset when we let off our chinese lanterns on the beach.

May 2010 - Langton - A wonderful weekend with the family in this amazing house. Ann (our cook) organised a delicious meal for us.
May 2010 - Wakefield - Had all the family staying together while we got married- fantastic time had by all! The house exceeded all our expectations, perfect place for very young kids and the older ones could hide away easily! Really impressed by all the details - made all the difference - we felt so welcome here. Tried out loads of the recommended 'Things to do' - beautiful walks, visiting Lee village is a must & our daughters loved the Dinosaur Park. Even the Grandparents enjoyed it! Will definitely try & come stay at the house again. Lots of love x Keep up the good work!
April 2010 - Illey - The promise from the weather man was sun, sun sun, but even rain on the last day couldn't dampen our fun. A wonderful property & location for us all to meet up. Only a short stay so plenty more for us to do, hopefully we'll be back. Thanks from all.
April 2010 - Batten party - My daughter Millie & I came from California. The house, weather, beaches, walks & food could not have been better. A truly wonderful weekend & a perfect house for our family reunion. Thank you so much.
April 2010 - Batten party - I came from Canada for our family reunion, having spotted your house whilst surfing the net. It has been a perfect venue & I will take many good memories of the very English house & a great reunion back with me. My family there will be very jealous! The kids loved the claw foot bath after swimming in the sea! The bedding was great & the kitchen well stocked. Thank you!
April 2010 - Batten party - Very memorable weekend together. Lovely to enjoy your house to share time time together. Great to be so near coast path & the harbour. Blessed wtih beautiful weather. Thank you.
Easter 2010 - Duffy. Easter! Almost killed the poor Tesco man who had to deliver our large shop up the hill!! Had a lovely holiday in your beautiful home - well located & brilliantly equipped for all our needs. Enough space that we could barely hear all our teenagers on the top floor - bliss! Many thanks for allowing us to share in your 'dream home by the sea'.
March 2010 - Wooding etc - Had a wonderful weekend, the house is amazing. 11 adults & 5 children - it has been just right for us. We loved the walk to The Grampus, Woody Bay is also lovely. We'll come again, thank you.
New Year 09/10 - We had a wonderful time - especially the kids who used the hall as a racing track with all their mini trucks, pushchairs & trolleys. The toys were a bit hit. The house is beautiful and we enjoyed all the quirky details. Looking forward to coming back in the summer sometime.
August 09 - Longhurst. We all had a spectacular stay. The house itself and the history behind it is one thing, the others are the comfortable rooms, homely sitting room and the amazing kitchen. We are all hoping to come again, thank you.
August 09 - Young family. Had a lovely time. Kids on the beach surfing every day, did the walk to The Grampus - good fun! Cafe Espresso worth a visit. Barnstaple was a good trip on a rainy day. Croyde & Woolacombe beaches - fantastic. Thank you for the scones & the body boards etc.
August 09 - Williams family. We had a great time - thanks! Five children, two sets of grandparents & Mum & Dad all had a really lovely old-fashioned holiday. Swimming, crabbing in the rock pools - we LOVED the Tunnels pools - walking & eating huge communal meals in your lovely house. We got through quite a few bottles of wine too. It was the perfect holiday house.
July 09 - The Doohans. Wow! We all loved it - the house swallowed us up so easily and we never felt on top of each other despite being 8 adults & 8 kids! Thanks for all the little details with the decor - we appreciated it all. Much love, the Liverpool crew.
July 09 - Bobin family. A wonderful 10 days in such a beautiful home. We had a memorable family holiday - 4 generations from 3 months to 81 years! The house was perfect for all of us - we loved Woolacombe beach. We shall be back, thanks for the stay.

16/04/09 - Jeffrey. I write for each & everyone of our gang!! Your house offers everything that we could hope for. It has a home away from home feeling. We had lots of hot water, lots of in & outdoor space. The kitchen did it for us all, well equipped & we made very good use of it. The walks were great (so they told me). Thank you so much & we would love to visit again.
27/03/09 - Geddes. A beautiful, stylish house in a lovely, old fashioned seaside town. House was perfect - comfortable beds, lots of hot water & a great garden for adventure.
