The large garden is perfect for entertaining; the Coach House is under the wing of Norton Priory a 16th century country home with extensive grounds.

A very special place
What an amazing property! The most wonderfully thought out, well equipped and comfortable house that we enjoyed thoroughly as a party of 14. From the very comfortable and beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms to the numerous living spaces and fabulous kitchen. The owner was really helpful throughout answering any queries we had too. The walk down to the beach was a special treat and we could not recommend this place enough. Hope to come back another time for sure!

An amazing location and perfect house for a large group
We had a lovely stay at the Priory Coach House with a large group of 8 adults and 8 kids. Every room was en suite which was great. The kids enjoyed sleeping all together in the bunk room, as well as the table tennis. The house has recently been renovated and was modern and stylish, lovely comfy beds and linens. A lovely 5 min walk to the beach via the private garden path, and the beach was perfect for body boarding and kite flying. Highly recommended this house and we look forward to visiting again.
