Great Irish guy running the bar, brilliant. Proper pub, traditional food. The Quay has outstanding views of the sea & the geology of the land. £3 toll road to go down which includes your parking. I loved it, great for all ages.

We went here for a birthday dinner for my son. Pub was nice and staff friendly. Scampi was good. The steak was not that great. Amazing location – sit outside if you get the weather for it.

I love the situation of the Wreckers Retreat.We have visited it a lot . It almost hangs off the stunning cliff formations. Very old , good car park, good Pub Grub, and lots of outside seating. It was crowded when we dropped in for lunch, but as I was cold, they kindly told us as soon as a table vacated. So lovely lunch, and took some more photos of the rocks.
