Port Quin and the fields beyond. The fishing village of Port Quin was abandoned sometime in the late 19th century and local legends tell of the day the men went fishing against advise and tradition (possibly on a Sunday) and were swept away by a huge storm. The truth is probably that the herring and pilchard fishing on which the village depended slowly declined in the latter half of the 19th century and at the same time small local mines closed down and the people slowly moved away or emigrated.

We were there in January so it was very quiet. The staff was excellent, the food was great. Our room was a bit small, but well equipped and clean. the bathroom was sizable with a great shower. There are great walks along the ocean right from the hotel's front door. Highly recommended!
