Cottages (Self-catering)
The South West Coastal Path offers a wide range of self catering accommodation, enabling you to explore the coast in a more relaxed fashion. This is ideal for walkers who want to give more time to a particular stretch, and perhaps savour it in different weather conditions and at different times of day.
