The view from the cabin was lovely. Unfortunately the floor sloped and the bed was on a slant. The shower was tiny. The bed felt like you were lying on cardboard on concrete.

What a hidden gem. Our room was very clean and comfortable. A short walk to the beach. The dining was incredible. I had the best seafood platter ever! It was loaded with mussels with huge scallops and shrimp. The pasta was full of delicious smaller scallops and shrimp. Incredible! My wife enjoyed her haddock dinner. After supper we went downstairs to the bar and enjoyed live music. We would certainly go back again!
