The Folly Reviews

Emma Carter
The place was lovely, really charming. It did take longer to reach the beach than expected-traffic was heavier than we thought. But since we’re used to quiet areas, it wasn’t a surprise or misleading at all.
Emma
Great spot, relaxing hot tub, lovely gardens.
Alex
The grounds are stunning, plenty to see and doand it’s just a quick drive to some beautiful beaches. Perfect for celebrating my birthday - we’ll definetly return!
Oliver
We had a lovely stay here. The inside feels even more charming than the pictures suggest, with plenty of art to admire. The gardens are fantastic for kids and dogs alike. The hidden 'Dell' behind the Folly was a real highlight for us!
Emma
We had a lovely stay at this quirky place - truly one of a kind! It’s perfect for families, especially with all the outdoor space in summer. We visited at the end of October with our family of four, so it felt pretty roomy. The two toilets were fineand the living area was comfy, but during summer I’d definitely recommend staying when you can enjoy the outdoor areas more. The host was really friendlyand the gardener was lovely, working on the gorgeous grounds. Great location too, close to beaches, shopsand restaurants. Felt like a home from home!
