It was out of season so quiet... A lovely coastal walk and the waves were huge! A kind of time warp with all the beach houses next door but the main event had to be eating at the cafe immediately next tot the light house. All meals great but I would really recommend the cream tea!!!!!!!

Lovely hotel.Nothing to dislike.the views were great,easy to get to.

we spent about an hour or two wondering along the cliffs and around the lighthouse. It seems to be a very popular destination for bird watching (dozens of spotters). The lighthouse itself has a small visitor centre and also you can go up the lighthouse (Sunday to Thursday) for a small fee. Bring change as it's a pay & display... More

The site is amazing, another beautiful natures gift. Tasty food in Crabs restaurant.

Unfortunately when we visited the lighthouse was closed for maintenance. We still enjoyed walking around even though it was a very blustery day and we felt like we might actually fall off the rocks into the water. Parents keep a tight grip of your younger kids - it looks like a very steep drop through jagged rocks. You can climb... More

Unusual setting and excellent views. Well organised car park and large cafe.
