The lodge's location is celebrated for its peaceful setting, proximity to coastal paths, and stunning sea views, making it ideal for walking breaks and exploration.

It was a lovely, clean and cosy lodge. The living area was so spacious and cosy. Highly recommend

Caron
Peaceful setting, amazing coastal position with sea views. One thing would enhance the Lodge's comfort is for the bunk beds to have memory foam toppers as the children could feel the springs in their mattresses which they found uncomfortable. This does not affect our high recommendation and we would love to return in the future.
