So our last guests have left and time for a small break, although a new driveway and bathroom refurb for RM5 are on the horizon this Winter. Another busy year when we have yet again had lovely guests, reflected in our review scores across all platforms. Whilst our online booking system is not yet switched on, we are very happy to take email / phone calls or even texts for provisional 2025 bookings at 2024 prices, we will then confirm your booking in the New Year and arrange ferries etc as required.
Thanks for all your support this year, Wendy and Gareth
