Delightful Stay
Very nice short stay. Arrived around 7pm and was greeted by owner and he helped us find a local place to eat at since it was late. He cooked us a big full breakfast the next morning! Yum!

Guesthouse on really small quiet town
Really nice place, its actually a house. Kidds beach is a really small town, quiet, peaceful, beautiful beach and not much around besides a pub and a teahouse. I suggest for guests that are moving around with a car Its actually self catering, didnt see anyone around during our stay (which is actually nice because of the trust factor).... beautiful cat :)

John and Gail , were very communicative during our stay , which was lovely. Their Bnb has a very homely feel to it. if you love cats , you will absolutely adore their lovely pets. Rooms are beautifully decorated and in great clean condition. Will definitely be back in the near future.
