Beautiful setting and lovely old Scottish inspired building. What a hidden gem, nestled in a town of 75 people by the sea. Close to Eden if needed, but feels isolated. Facilities fantastic.

The lady on the front desk, I think her name was Ashley, was warm, welcoming and so helpful. The hotel and room were beautiful. Dinner from the pizza van, sitting on the lawn with a band playing and the children able to run around, watching the sunset and finishing with waffles was a highlight. Would definitely recommend and gladly stay again!
