"Pros-Dunseverick ramblers rest was very clean, comfortable, nicely presented and dog friendly. It was handy to get to local tourist spots by car. Good for a nights stay. Cons-not within walking distance of tourist spots, the shower wasn’t powerful and the TV had no signal so we couldn’t watch the channels that were meant to be available but could log into our own Netflix account."

"The setting of this property is stunning. To wake up to the beach view each morning and to fall asleep listening to the crashing waves! Idyllic!! We spent some quiet evenings up in the garden house with the lovely view. The beds were super comfy. Driving up and down the narrow switch back road is not for the faint of heart but well worth it!!"
