Wonderful stay just 15 mins away drive from the cliffs, Val was so attentive and also was really kind to give us an upgrade spontaneously. This is a must if you travel around these areas and want to find a relaxing time.

We liked this Inn the first time we stayed there in May that we decided to book again. Stayed in a different room but was equally happy with the space as the first time. Would highly recommend. Dave and Val are great hosts.

Lovely setting and views. Great hospitality. Even though there was no running water because of a burst pipe in the area, they were helpful and kind. Would 100% stay there again.
