What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great place to stay. They were very accommodating and helpful. They are a family run place and gave great local knowledge. We'll be back for our next family holiday.”
“Friendly staff with good accommodation in the great location. The entrance a bit hard to get in for the people who come at the first time. Just a friendly suggestion If the door can be put on some pad to reduce the noise that would be a big great.”
“We stayed for the second time and just loved it! The rooms are comfortable and homely, made us feel welcome and we’re looking forward to our next trip over! Thank you Kirsty for creating such a friendly and warm place to call our home away from home.”
