Hey Guys!
 
Hope you're well? Just checked my emails for the first time  in over a week (how luxurious!) as we only got back last night. Back down to earth with a bump, now!
 
Thanks so much to you and your family for the most memorable part of our trip - it was just wonderful and we were so excited to have found you! It was just beautiful at your beach house and we will most certainly be coming back to see you again. Now we've discovered you we'll be sure to keep coming back. It was quite the most delightful stay and your friendliness, hospitality and warmness was the cherry on the cake!
Do stay in touch!    Laura

...Dear Graeme, or should I say 'Dear Robinson Crusoe!' Nigel and I feel we've stumbled ashore on your 'desert Island'! It's awesome, we've loved it! ...the seals at Sally's Bottom, dolphins  on our first night, the walk at low tide to Chapel Porth...just what we needed!  we'll be back!  Susie + Nigel  (Leighton Buzzard)
