Reviews
A most enjoyable stay at the Merry Crab. Close to restaurants, pubs, beaches and scenic beachfront drives. Accommodation is very clean & comfortable with friendly, helpful staff. Will definately return.
Very friendly and helpful people. Quiet and peaceful. Clean and well maintained, loved it, will be going back for another holiday.
The lodge, nestled in beautiful surroundings, is ultra clean and well equipped. The garden is beautiful and has wonderful birdlife. The beach is a short walk away and is magnificent and private - a hidden gem. The staff is friendly, helpful and super-efficient. I had breakfast each day which was delicious. I had a lovely, peaceful holiday and will definitely return
We opted for a cabana this time which was very comfortable for too. The garden is still beautifully kept and it is very pleasant that the accommodation is a short stroll from the beach. The kitchen was well supplied with equipment and utensils. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Just be aware that cell phone and wifi reception was almost non-existent which was not a big problem for us as we just wanted to relax, but could be an issue if you need to be in touch
