The kitchen equipment was excellent and help was readily available if we had any issues.
The kitchen equipment was excellent and help was readily available if we had any issues. Coastal sunrise and sunsets were amazing and we loved the cliff walks and sandy harbour.

Murlin is a wonderful holiday home and we had a fantastic stay.
Murlin is a wonderful holiday home and we had a fantastic stay. It is clean, warm, with really comfortable beds and basically had everything we needed. The host was brilliant and responded quickly whenever we contacted him. The location is fantastic with amazing views from the house and lovely walks straight from the door. We all loved it, would definitely recommend and if the chance ever arises would happily stay there again.
