Upstairs you can find a really lovely interactive one room museum. I definitely recommend checking it out. There is no entry fee. If you enjoy the museum the can support it by having a drink or meal in the café downstairs or donate some money to the staff.
Perfect for a brew with a view! A little pricey but also the best place to just sit and watch the waves roll in. Dog friendly, lovely helpful service, always like to pop in if I need to do a bit of work (no WiFi but if you can get signal you can hotspot).
Lovely cafe amd stunning views. Staff were very friendly and helpful
It's nice to visit and have a coffee. It's more for children upstairs.
Visited here after hearing good things about it, can't believe this is the same place we found it nothing special expensive carpark £4.40 for 2hours for what a steep hill couple of shops a bay you could find anywhere in this wonderful country of ours, we must also have gone on a everyone is in a rude and unfriendly mood day especially the tea shop at the bottom of the hill it costs nothing to be friendly and polite. Won't return wouldn't recommend
