4.5/5

Home away from home kind of place.
Great dining room & living room with coal stove to keep things cosy and social. Large back yard to camp in that backs onto the beach for awesome sunsets and beach walking. 5 min walk to town to check the sites or shop. Clair, the host is a fantastic source of knowledge and feel good vibes - she often makes home made bread for breakfast and sometimes cookies for the evening. We stayed here twice it was so good!
