A peaceful setting. Amazing countryside. Award-winning beaches. Historic towns and castles.
Charlie's Place is a cosy cottage that promotes relaxation; centrally heated throughout with the option to enjoy a real fire in winter in the, the lounge/diner is a wonderful space to sit back at the end of the day and enjoy games, films or simply the peace and quiet.
