A group of six people having different foods and we all loved the food we were given. Service was friendly and we had a good time there. Only drawback ladies toilet the positioning of the baby changing table could be different. Will be eating there again.

Just had lovely lunch. Perfect Cullen skink and goats cheese sandwich. Too much to eat at great price. The young lady serving was brilliant. Coffee outside to finish. Fabulous setting. Recommended.

A great short stopover at this beautifully presented spot. The room was perfect, immaculately clean and so comfortable.
Located right where the land meets the sea you get an uninterrupted ocean view straight out the door. The star prize goes to the staff however who went out of their way to make me feel welcome and accommodate my late arrival and early morning departure (they even fixed me a bag of goodies for the road to make up for my missed breakfast)
