“The host was very friendly and helpful. She served a good breakfast in the morning at our chosen time. The place is not found easily and needs an entrance sign. Overall I would stay there again.”

“Our lovely host Fiona gave us a warm welcome! Our room was cozy, comfortable and lacked nothing. Love the tea kettle in the room with a biscuit for bedtime. Easy parking, great breakfast, with something for everyone, even our vegan friend.”
“We were warmly welcomed by the staff on arrival and when they showed us up to the room we fell instantly in love with the sea view. The room was very clean and in good shape. What’s more, we ate in the restaurant and the food was fresh, locally sourced and also great value for money when compared to other local options.”
