Recently had a 2 night stay at this lovely b+b in late may 24. My room was immaculate and I was greeted by the lady of the house and enjoyed a very welcome cuppa in the kitchen on arrival. The are is beautiful and the description of the property on the website is 100% accurate. Felt very welcome and at home in this lovely house and would return in a heartbeat for the breakfast alone, simply fantastic and only surpassed by the perfect hostess. The Corkman

Guest reviews
Cradog averages 4.7 out of 5 across 34 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Well, we had a lovely time at Lil and Frank’s house. The breakfast is fit for kings, the rooms all have stunning views and are immaculate…..but mainly the hospitality is of the warmest variety. I did ask to be adopted but Lil said I was too old. Don’t be messing about if you’re dawdling…just book it and bring your appetite. (There’s plenty of sausages….even more jokes). Daryl & ‘noisy’ Lauren
We had a great stay in this lovely B&B. The location is so serene. Lil is a wonderful hostess. The room we stayed in does need some repairs, but that didn’t take away from our fantastic stay.
