What our guests are saying about us
Location is a dream
The location is a dream. Breakfast right by the cliffs is just just nice. Cabin very comfortable and warmly decorated.
View was exceptional
View was exceptional, bed was comfortable and the place was clean, glad we have a long stay, just couldn’t get enough of the view. Rachel and Ron were very welcoming as was the local pub which was an easy walk, lots of walks and cycle paths right on the doorstep, the beach below is nice, moderate walk down, quiet steep at the bottom. Town is about 10 minutes drive with plenty of bars and shops
