Quiet and very pleasant guest house. Off road parking a bonus although I found the exit needed concentration. Rooms well equipped and breakfast was excellent.

Lovely couple of days spent in a little annex called the gullyen cottage. Superbly equipped and comfortable, just a stones throw from the sea. Food was 10/10 homemade breakfast to set you up for the day. Lovely and clean. Rob and Linda were a perfect host.
