    What a gem of a find! It was clean, and the view from the room was peaceful. The restaurant had the BEST Cullen Skink ever!!

    It was relatively near to the beach, scenic views, farm right opposite that makes you feel the countryside. The Cock and Bill restaurant food was to die for. The staff very warm and welcoming. The catering for our dog was exceptional.
