Great wee place close to Gemstone Beach

Everything was there that we needed. So easy to get to Gemstone Beach and have fun fossiking in the stones. Pub handy, and a nice wee community.

Cosy relaxing to wind down

Clean, cosy, warm, quiet- perfect to wind down and recharge - best sleep in a very comfortable bed. Kitchen also great to use. The room is even better than in the picture and very spacious.

Lovely tranquil place

Lovely little place to stay. Very modern, plenty of space to park. Ideal for 2 people, but has two double bedrooms, however the walls are thin so you will certainly get to know who is the snorer of your group. About 70m walk to the beautiful lake, half hour walk to the centre.
