8.8/10 Excellent! (334 reviews)
Room was recently renovated and comfortable but a proper chair would have been appreciated. The fact that there was no space for a small desk and chair will give you a sense of the small size of the room.

I'd never heard of this little place until Monday. A short detour downhill from the SW coastal path and you will find yourself here. This is a wave cut platform formed over thousands of years. The layered geology of the landscape is so clear to see as you climb down onto the platform or the dancefloor as it is known.
