What's nearby

  • Limpets are herbivorous marine snails with an amazing conical she'll that live along the rocky shores. Here they are on top of some Lichen, Lichen is made up of two living things, algae and fungi, which live together in a symbiotic relationship. The definition of this is a close and long term interaction between different biological species, which is mutually beneficial to both. The fungus does its bit by retaining water which protects the alga, which can only live in wet conditions. The alga is photosynthetic, meaning, like a plant, it can turn carbon dioxide in to sugars, which feeds both the alga and the fungus.

clean, homely, solid

Imposing, stone house beckoning to the pier from the top of the hill. Stepping inside, the feeling of space, tidiness, welcome. Smell of wood, large modern windows that are properly sealed, with wonderful views. Clean, spacious kitchen. This hostel has so much more class and comfort than most of the hotels I've stayed in in the UK.
