It is set in a private lane overlooking a picturesque bay, absolute heaven. Our dogs enjoyed the large enclosed garden which had some great garden furniture where you could sit for meals or just enjoy the beautiful view. I loved Ranny Roe so much I've booked an Autumn break there.

The snug was particularly lovey to sit jn. The ONLY drawback was the lack of anywhere to walk our dogs without getting in the car and driving somewhere. Otherwise a great place to stay and gorgeous views. The owners very helpful and left a lovely bottle of wine as a welcome.
