Its location gives it uninterrupted views of the Atlantic and surrounding cliffs, so you might want to spend sunset in the pub.

Acceptable stay near the coast

spacious roomclean roomfriendly receptiondated roompoor foodburnt pizza
The room was spacious and clean. The reception greeting was friendly. There are good breakfast options and a awesome breakfast host.
The room we got was very dated. It was not one of the modern ones shown in the pictures with wooden floors. The food in the restaurant was very poor. We got a 12' pizza that we had to return as it was burnt.
