Charming Inn with Delicious Food

friendly staff delicious seafood
The staff was friendly and cute upon arrival. The dinner in the restaurant stood out, especially the seafood. I had the fish and chips (it was amazing). The rooms were clean and recently refurbished with cosy decor. The location provided beautiful scenery.
The room was small for two people. the bathroom heating was not working. The lack of heating impacted drying clothes and towels (especially given the frequent rain).
