Fresh choice is about a 6min walk and activities are also in walking proximity. Family friendly staff was really accommodating. I have booked for my return in a few weeks. Owner is hospitable and a big heart Thank you Nicci Fitzgerald for allowing me to use your gas stove at your other backpackers place much appreciated 😍
I came back from my outdoor activity and walked into the fire blaring with warmth. Just what I needed being out on the water for 6hours. Thanks Luke & Chris

Late checkin was smooth. I loved the size of spa tub and it felt great - but there were no instructions , I couldn't get it to turn on. So, I enjoyed a relaxing soak. Location was convenient to restaurants, shops and the sea.

We had turn up at lodge to find keys waiting our arrival with note for owner, room was found to be very clean as was amenities when walk around. However we DID not stay due to the bathroom and shower configuration. I did not remember seeing stated toilets are shower are unisex (mixed) both in the same area this made me feel uncomfortable especially as I am prone to using toilets in the middle of the night no issues sharing with ladies but with strange men yes. I am sorry if this sounds raciest in anyway but my concern was more of putting myself in a venerable situation.
