An amazing location with wildlife right on the doorstep. Our room (Apartment 1) had a great view with plenty of space and a useful kitchen area. The bed was very comfortable note; the bedroom view is to the side. The on-site cafe was excellent as was dining at the nearby Gyppo Ale Mill. Overall a great stay although the property is a little careworn and our balcony needed attention to the decking.
The location was very remote but everything we needed to relax. I loved the location and the view of the ocean. They had a restaurant on the first floor which was good. If you need a getaway this is it! Bring your book and a blanket to enjoy the ocean. It’s dog friendly too!
Beautiful location, our room was very nice with an awesome balcony right on the water. The sound of the ocean and the views were so relaxing. Will stay here again in the future. Highly recommended!

Pet fee was reasonable, the room was clean, view is amazing. There is NOT the bbq grill as advertised (only a tiny open-face charcoal grill). There are NOT stairs directly down to the beach directly in front of the inn, as advertised and in the photos. You have to walk all the way around the back of the other hotel to go down to the beach and walk all the way back across if you want to get to the section in front of the Inn. Minor inconveniences for my personal stay. Overall stay was nice. Front office lady was very nice, everyone there was friendly.
Internet was great. Able to log into Netflix/ other streaming services. It was awesome being able to walk downstairs to the cafe. Super delicious food. Loved having a jacuzzi in the room and falling asleep/waking up to the sounds of waves crashing
