Comfortable and Close to the coastline

Thank you for having us :)We had a comfortable stay. The towels were lovely, soft and fluffy and beds were comfy. Served our purpose of having a place to unwind after a day of exploring the area. Orford is a beautiful spot and Shelley beach is excellent for swims and kids boogie boarding. We wanted to bring our boy Dizzee the doggo and Tom’s place is pet friendly which is excellent and much appreciated. Cheers from the Rippers.

Great place to stay, very comfortable and well equiped. Lovely mountain view out the back . Almost perfect for pets. Our schnauzer was able to get under the gate where tyre wheels made a dip. Perhaps add something near gate that could block that possible escape route!
