A location at the top of a hill just west of the village means that three of the five bedrooms at this luxurious B&B enjoy fantastic views across the harbour to Valentia Island. Tasteful modern decor with striking colour combinations add to the designer feel of the place, and the welcome is as warm as the freshly baked bread.
