Great family holiday

Truly lovely old house and for our family reunion with the children and grandkids it was perfect. The walk across the fields to the coastal route to Westward Hoe. from the house was beyond words truly breathtaking. The big advantage of Tower House is the swimming pool which everyone enjoyed so much. The kids learning to dive whilst there. Fabulous position. Highly recommended.
