AIRBNB GUESTS SAY…

Dave and his family and helpers at Butterfly Paragliding couldn’t have been more friendly or hospitable and they really made me feel at home. What a great and beautiful place to spend some days in March!

Hana, UK

Dave is a relaxed convivial man with diverse interests from paragliding to astrology. Of an evening we were serenaded by Dave playing guitar by a blazing log fire. In the morning we woke to the smell of Dave's freshly baked bread. The place and grounds are enormous with a shabby chic style and up cycled furniture and stunning sea views.

Dave and Alex were very friendly and welcoming. Very comfortable house. Good for socializing if you like but just as easy to relax and have quiet time. I loved the slightly off the beaten path location, incredible view and easy access to the beautiful Coastal Trail. It's not fancy (which I prefer) but it's got character and charm. A special place.

Brian, New York

Staying with Dave was an absolute treat. Not only the location is amazing with its wild cliffs (just a few steps outside the house),gorgeous beach and a lovely small village with a great pub, but Dave's hospitality and the character of the house make this AirBnB one of the best I have ever stayed at! :)
