“This guesthouse offers a tranquil retreat in a quiet locale, mere steps from the dramatic cliff path and a short stroll to the new harbour's dining options. The grounds are beautifully kept, providing a serene backdrop with a pool for unwinding, and the thoughtful touches in the rooms, like afternoon biscuits, elevate the comfort. Breakfast here is a highlight, a generously portioned and well-prepared start to the day, making it a truly restorative stay.”
