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!

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.

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! :)

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.
