Really comfortable and very warm after a wet day’s walking! Would highly recommend.
Mrs King
Comfortable beds and plenty of room for 6 of us. Delightfully near the sea.
Mrs Entwistle
We loved the location, despite the small garden/yard space. Comfy beds, spacious kitchen. View across harbour wonderful from front garden seating whilst having a bbq. Local pub is great - book for meals.
