The property is well situated right on the coast and ideal location for coastal walks. It has a well stocked kitchen and each individual room is well sized and comfortable. However the property layout is slightly strange in that you have to go through a bedroom to get to the balcony and the master bedroom is only separated from the lounge by a glass door with no privacy curtain. It is the only place we have ever stayed at with no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. It would also have been helpful to have been warned of the work in the lane right outside the property that gave access and noise issues.The Ferry Boat Inn is a short walk which provides a very good standard of food and welcome.
