This was my 2nd stay. The house is large and quirky with sea views from every window. I love that I can hear the waves with the windows open. The wier itself is like stepping back in time with great places to eat and drink. The hiking from the door is also magnificent. I would definitely recomme.... This was my 2nd stay.

Surprisingly large property with oodles of space. Fabulous location with views over the sea. Access to the weir itself via a steep but short road, just a couple of minutes walk. If you want to dine locally we would recommend booking as the pub gets full early.
