Everything you could need is just minutes away - whether it be restaurants and pubs, pitch and put, crazy golf, surf hire or an impressive spa available in a nearby hotel - there is something for everyone.

The key thing about Baggy Leap is the sea - there are sea views from almost every room in the house. The fabulously spacious living room has floor to ceiling windows with amazing sea views. You can play table football, or pool or snuggle down on the enormous sofas and watch TV, and there is Satellite Plus for the times you want to go outside to admire the sunset.

Just by the back door are shelves of different sized wellies to borrow for wet weather (including some tiny ones) which we hope will work for everyone in your party.

Enjoy your meals while watching the sea, the sky and Lundy Island.

There's a sloping lawn in front, leading up to the long terrace that runs the length of the house with a table and chairs to sit at the far corner. A small lawn in front of the summerhouse is a good place to play giant jenga (you'll find that next to the wellies). Behind the summerhouse is a shower to rinse off after swimming or surfing. At the back of the house there are flower and herb beds - feel free to add sage, rosemary or mint to your cooking. A small wooden gate in the old wall opens onto the National Trust land that lies behind the house itself. Go through the gate and up the hill, past the bracken, the brambles and the sheep, and you'll be rewarded by quite breathtaking views.
