The terrace is an outdoor seating area where guests can watch the tide come in while enjoying the coastal setting. Hannafore Beach is 1.7 km from the property, and the terrace offers a spot to observe the sunset over the water.
Accommodations
The guesthouse has family rooms with en-suite bathrooms, private balconies, and river views from certain units such as the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony. Rooms are equipped with a TV, electric kettle, and free toiletries; the Deluxe Double Room also includes a balcony overlooking the estuary. Family rooms with harbour view provide additional space and direct sightlines to the town and port.
Dining Experience
A full English or Irish breakfast is served daily, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available upon request. The breakfast includes warm dishes, fresh juice, and fruit, with homemade baked beans and white sausage noted by guests as exceptional. Complimentary drinks-either a soft drink or beer-are offered to guests on arrival.
Local Attractions
The guesthouse provides direct access to hiking trails along the South West Coast Path, starting steps from the property.
