We enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very welcoming and accomodating. We were not warned that there will be a dog on the site. It was very friendly, but some people have alergies. The location is perfect!

A very comfortable stay very close to the beach and restaurant/ bars. Owners of the property made us feel very welcome. Would love to come back again.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was well appointed and very clean. Gayle had all the dishes and bowls we needed in the little kitchen. The location is fabulous, right across, on a side road, from the beach and a nice long walk along the water. The bed was only a double but that was advertised. If I came again I’d likely choose a larger room. Would absolutely recommend this place.

Comfortable place to stay in great location - near variety of cafes and restaurants and across the road from the beach. Only downside was that the only access to the room was through the owner's front door - no private access.

Great location opposite the beach. The room was very spacious, airy, clean and comfortable with a great shower. The kitchen facilities were ideal, too.We received a very warm welcome on our arrival and felt very relaxed in the accommodation and wished we had allowed time to stay an extra night. We can highly recommend Cave Rock Guest House.
