Fodor's Review:

The pretty gabled facade with dormer windows is traditional in style, but, in fact, Bernadette Moloney and her German husband, Armin Grefkes, designed and built this house specifically as a B&B. It's just across the road from the sea, about 2 km (1 mi) north of the village, just beyond the Whitethorn Craft Shop. The interior has character and style, thanks to a mix of imposing 19th-century German antiques, stripped-pine floors, and comfortable sofas and armchairs. Each guest room is individually styled on a wildflower theme, with plain walls, color-coordinated quilts and curtains, brass bedsteads, and attractive small antiques. A light, bar-style menu is served in the lounge; from April to October reserve for a more formal evening meal. The delicious breakfast menu offers an unusually wide choice. Your hosts are knowledgeable about the area, and have a good supply of books and maps. Pros: big bedrooms for a B&B; nice waterfront location; peaceful nights. Cons: a long (1 mi-plus) walk down a narrow busy road to village; no morning newspaper.
