Perfect place to stay. They have thought of everything including an oyster knife for shucking freshly picked oysters off the rocks. The view was mesmerising. Would definitely come back.

Warm cabin, great quiet spot

Really tidy and warm cabins (we stayed in August), perfect space for 2 people - underfloor heating was a big winner. Alex welcomed us warmly, great communication and gave great recommendations to suit our interests, even a spot to photograph aurora. Some noise noticeable through the adjoining wall and balcony with the neighbouring cabin, but not crazy. Quiet spot and handy to attractions in the area - we'd stay again!

We liked the location on the waterfront with a view over the bay. Off street parking was good and secure. We enjoyed walks and bike rides along the shore front. Fully serviced with cooking facilities was great. The bed was large, clean and very comfortable for a good night's sleep. Only dislike was the shower taps as they are not identified for hot and cold and one tap turns on in the opposite direction to the other with a loose securing screw made it too difficult to regulate the temperature.
