The window seat was the perfect place to sit read watch the waves and the world go by. All the locals that we met were lovely and the pub is a great place to visit very welcoming and a great quiz night on a Tuesday evening. We didnt want to leave but I'm sure we will return.

It's situated about 15 metres from the sea with a lovely window seat looking out to the waves. It is well equipped for two people. The kitchen has most facilities, with a washing machine but no dishwasher.There are plenty of cups, glasses, plates and cutlery. There was generally enough hot water but on the final two days the automatic water heater did not provide the usual temperature. The heating was brilliant. Too warm on occasions, and we'd been advised not to fiddle with the timers which are controlled 'remotely'. The area is beautiful with lots of lovely local walks. The village was very friendly and we got a warm welcome in the Rising Sun. October can be a stormy month. We arrived in a huge storm with sea waves coming up to the house! Very exciting. Then 6 perfect autumn days. The owner was concerned enough to telephone and kept in touch during the week. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.
