This lovely B&B is positioned over the eponymous Back Creek – and can be reached by sea or by car. Pretty rooms are named after herbs, and couples can enjoy extra privacy in the adjacent cottage. Owner Carol is a warm hostess, and amenities on offer include bicycles for exploring and a fire pit. Breakfast expands to a buffet on Sundays.
