Elizabeth and Anthony are wonderful hosts. They are pleasant, interesting and extremely helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the updated bathroom had lovely hot showers. The breakfast room was large and quite nice. The breakfast itself, was delicious and plentiful. One morning, we had a very early start to our day. Elizabeth left a number of things in the little common fridge for us to find in the wee hours of the morning. Very thoughtful! There is also parking available and a nice back yard with a garden.

Stunning coastal walks are popular including to the Lighthouse seen in our photos, as well as to the 2 lovely sandy beaches nearby and also to seek for the smugglers cave!
