Breakfast were very good with a variety of choice and all very tasty. Our holiday was completely hassle free with no pressures and I would certainly stay there again. We had a kingsize bedroom with... More

This is a lovely little place and is in a perfect position above Whiting Bay, the views are simply stunning. Mal & Julie are the perfect hosts, offering advice, lending sun tan lotion (because we forgot ours!!!) and feeding you up with delicious simple food that is plentiful. The breakfasts are a pleasure to tuck in to. Nothing is too... More

Had a great stay at View Bank. Malcolm and Julie were extremely warm, friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious with healthy portions. The room was spotlessly clean, and they were very accommodating for dogs. Nice views of the Bay and excellent access to local walks.

We arrived andour hosts showed us to our rooms, helped us book a restaurant, and even drove us back down thehill offering a lift back... More

We stayed during the October holiday for two nights. I read the hotels website and had good correspondence from the owner Julie. The owner did mention the hill but no offer was forthcoming to collect guests as stated on their website. I had to hike up a very, very steep hill with a large bag and a five year old... More

I stayed for nearly five weeks and had a great time. My room was small but Mal and Julie fitted a TV into the room specially which was a life-saver! It is a great B+B and value for money which is really important in this day and age!
