Stayed Aug 26, 2022A wonderful 3 day weekend in the historic whalers inn. Sue and John are most fabulous hosts. Everything you could need was thought of, cute cottage, warm inviting fire and a bottle of red .. what more do you need in winter.

Stayed Jan 28, 2022While this is a beautiful property with an amazing feel and history, its fair to say that the friendly nature and genuine hospitality of Sue and John still managed to outshine the beautiful setting. I would say it is best suited for couples, you can gaze past the open fire, through the window set into thick stone walls and look the sea. Its a seriously charming place. Thank you for letting people sharing it.
