Booked after reading the reviews. All of the previous comments are fully deserved. The only problem that i can see is getting booked, so do us all a favour dont tell anyone else about this lovely guest house so we can keep it too ourselves. A really big thank you to Zoe and Dom. more

The last overnight accommodation during our nine day holiday around the Isle of Man, Cumbria and Yorkshire.

We stayed at St Raphael from 20th - 23rd July and only wished that it could have been for longer. We were warmly greeted by Zoe and shown to our room and offered tea or... more

This is a wonderful B & B. The welcome is warm and genuine, the rooms spotlessly clean and breakfast delicious (beautiful fresh fruit salad, home made bread plus all the other usual English breakfast choices). From the moment you arrive you know you are in safe hands. Not only do Zoe and Dom run a beautiful establishment, their local knowledge... more
