A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We have loved living in Taylor House. Over the past seven years the area has become a destination spot with people coming from far and wide to enjoy the Wetlands Nature Reserve, the abundant brewery tap rooms and coffee shops, all with regular events ranging from vintage furniture sales to poetry and games evenings. That said, the area retains a relaxed community feel and warm welcomes are in abundance. Were it not for a hankering for the seaside and a change of circumstance, we'd happily stay and we'll keep a keen eye on future developments with regular visits to friends made here."
