"We *loved* its location -- right on The Quay, its historic importance, and the comradery of the staff and guests in its downstairs pub over the water. Also, no other Americans."

The Rocky Cove Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"It was well appointed and very comfortable and had everything we needed. Jonah was extremely helpful and gave us lots of information about potential parking places as the B&B does not itself have a car park. We only stayed one night and were fortunate enough to secure one of the parking places immediately in front of the B&B for which there was no charge until 10am the next morning. All very satisfactory."
