What a find! This place was excellent and in a beautiful little part of the world. The nearby rugged coastline was a joy to behold with some breathtaking invigorating walks or you could just sit and enjoy. Breakfast was superb, plenty of it and nothing too much trouble. The room was spotlessly clean as was the rest of the accommodation. Considering the place was dog-friendly, you would never know it as everywhere was immaculate. Generous tea and coffee facilities in the room which were very welcome. Great shower. Dual aspect room, one view of the sea, the other of mountains. Perfect!

You can climb to the summit and back down to the café in about 2 hours depending on how quickly you walk, views on the way up and from the summit are breath taking. There are also many ancient rocks and ruins to explore, with 'standing stones' adjacent to Blackthorn Farm, and ancient 'hut circles' close by too.
