Soak in the magnificence of this property and create unforgettable moments with your loved ones.
Please note that The View is located up a steep drive and has 35 steps (8 of which are outside) spread across three levels. While this elevation may pose a challenge for some, it's this very feature that allows for the awe-inspiring views from almost every room. We kindly advise guests with mobility issues to take this into consideration.

Kindly inquire about our dine-in options and costs from Storm Bay Events upon making your reservation.
The well-appointed kitchen boasts a large fridge with filtered water and a double Belling oven with induction cooktop.
