Has anyone ever visited this island or stayed at the hotel there? Is it worth the trip?

My nephew was married there but it was so expensive he couldn’t afford any guest!. He had a lovely time though.

Sounds romantic

Actually they had what is termed an elopement ( although they had been living together for more than ten years!! ) and with only two witnesses it wasn’t too expensive.

Even more romantic

It’s a beautiful place, definitely worth a trip.

So there’s the hotel and a pub?

It’s a lovely place. If you’re feeling fit you can walk across the bay at low tide.
Otherwise the carriage is great.
We’ve only ever had drinks or a meal at the hôtel and that was years ago.
