Well run small guest house and I had a clean and comfortable room with excellent facilities. Proprietors were very friendly and informative about the area. A well prepared breakfast was offered with a good choice of options. Property is wishing walking distance of the sea and town with easy parking on the road.

So glad we chose the Dunedin
The owners made our stay like a home from home. Nothing was too much trouble from booking a taxi to helping understand the vagaries of the Canadian mobile phone that resisted my efforts. Really clean, comfortable and welcoming. We stayed two weeks and felt sad upon leaving. Many thanks are due.

Lovely stay
Lovely little inn, good location and a 10minute walk into town. Room was very spacious with TV, small dining table, wardrobe, and kettle! They had good precautions due to COVID but still did a daily service to clean the rooms which was nice.
