The property itself is very nice, spotless, and feels luxurious throughout. Everything is extremely well maintained, including the rooms, beds, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. It is also dog-friendly, which was a big plus. The location is excellent, with a lovely beach view and easy access for walks, including taking a dog out, making it a very pleasant place to stay overall. However, some aspects of the hosting experience felt uncomfortable and inconsistent. There was an undertone that the owner was unhappy that I had booked early at a lower price. I was told a dog bed would be brought to the room, but this never happened. On arrival, the first interaction focused on what I do for work and why I was staying, which felt unnecessary. I was given a breakfast selection sheet, but when I chose the full fry option, the owner pointed to and explained in detail the most basic breakfast on the printout, while the fry option was only lightly ticked and not mentioned unless I specifically asked about it. I ultimately did not have breakfast as I left early the next morning. There was also inconsistency around dinner. I was told dinner was not provided at the property, despite it being offered to other guests. An alternative dinner at another location was suggested and repeatedly encouraged, but when I declined, the response felt noticeably negative. There are only five rooms, and I received multiple emails shortly before arrival asking me to reconfirm the booking. This gave the impres

Clean, warm and welcoming - the rooms and common spaces immediately make you feel relaxed and at home. Incredible views across Cloughey Bay and the Irish Sea, with direct access to the sandy beach and dramatic coastline. Amazing spa facilities with a sauna and hot tub too.

Lovely property sensitively and tastefully restored from an old Manse to a thoroughly modern B&B establishment. Gardens and surrounding areas a treat to relax in.

Great overnight stay

We loved the Manse on the Beach. The owners have clearly invested a lot of money to have a place of this high standard. The breakfast was beautiful. My wife is already planning another trip.

Manse in the Beach is the perfect getaway. Just opposite a lovely beach which my dog and I had to ourselves. From arriving I felt right at home, the accomodation is beautiful and Sarah & Brian are the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. I had poached eggs bacon & sourdough bread just yum . I was lucky enough to coincide my stay with a Thai night on the Saturday and the food was delicious, great variety of freshly cooked dishes all beautifully presented. Everything about Manse on the beach is perfect. Location, cleanliness and the hospitality. Well worth a visit 🙂

Exceptional!

What a hidden gem situated in a quiet, picturesque location. Exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished, well equipped and the private sauna and jacuzzi was a lovely touch. Powerful hairdryer, massive comfortable bed and Netflix on TV in room and lounge area were also appreciated. The breakfast was delicious with an excellent selection; fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, and a choice of cooked options. Lovely garden area to relax in and a beach just across from the property. The host Brian was very helpful and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay and hope to return.
