Reviews

“I'm not sure why these are listed as dog friendly for walks, in fact dogs are only allowed to land on one of the islands (Longstone I think). However they are permitted on many of the boat trips, the trip we went on the Skipper looked after our dog and several others while we went ashore. We hadn't realised this would be the case when booking, but in the event it was fine.”
