Created by friendly staff, room was perfect for my family of 5, loved the back patio to sit out at and dine. Easy walk to the beach and boardwalk and about 20min walk to the base of the Mount and a beautiful walk.

5 Stars! We were extremely happy with our stay - there was a lovely outdoor area with games, picnic tables and BBQ, ample parking, great location to the Mount but also close to the beach. Facilities were clean and tidy, with everything we needed. The owners and staff are absolutely lovely and very accommodating. We can’t wait to come back and visit next summer!
