We arrived at Pinecrest around 5pm and were greeted by one of the owners, Liam. He was extremely friendly and immediately offered us coffee or tea. He got his wife, Helen and she showed us to the room. We had a lovely room on the first floor. It was a 2 room suite with one room with a king size... more

Being two couples in our fifties we were looking for some creature comforts in our choice of B & B's. We found these at Pinecrest when we had the pleasure to stay here in May.

After a dedicedly uncomfortable flight and a white-knuckle drive from the airport,... more
