The room was clean, cozy and very, very comfortable. The owners were very welcoming. Also the walk to the top of the Nut starts a couple of blocks from the property. There are limited dining options nearby and sometimes things are closed but what is there is good so it is important to plan ahead and it is possible to cook or warm things up so planning = being very happy! December was the beginning of peak penguin breeding season so there were a LOT of penguins not only at the viewing platforms but also after one thought that the penguins must be settled in their nests but, no, they were still checking things out in the streets and around bushes and in driveways. It tooks a few hours for them to get settled and the babies to get fed for everything to settle down! They are quite loud! It is quite amazing! A special place.... ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynne 9 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ease of check-in, friendly and convenient communication by text, close to beautiful beach, penguin viewing , the Nut ,- iconic landmark, town centre. ##### Lynne Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susannah 14 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a fabulous location!
