10/10 Excellent
"A very friendly welcome from the staff here and even helped with our luggage to the room. Beautiful clean bedroom and bathroom and lovely views from our windows. Enjoyed a very tasty dinner in the evening and great breakfast the following morning, both beautifully prepared and served. Only spent one night here due to our schedule but would gladly return without a moment's hesitation. Lovely place!"

"Couldn't fault the place, it was lovely.excellent location. Loved it being so close to the wee beach cove. 1st holiday that we've had that had everything I like doing on its door stop. Fishing, Kayaking, crabbing, metal detecting, dog walking, . Going on decent walks along the coast. ( All without leaving the village which is a rare thing) Also got a 20 inch pizza delivered to the house which was a bit of a novelty for us. The wife would come back just for the bath and shower. Already looking at rebooking ."
