LITTLE THINGS TO NOTE
The Old Fisherman’s Lookout is based at the top of the Old High Street so there is very easy access into town, the harbour and the beaches. The entrance is at the rear of the property which sets it back from the main hustle of the high street.
The property comfortably sleeps 4 adults and an infant and welcomes up to 2 pets.
PARKING
There is free parking all the way along the road leading up to the high street, Stratton Terrace-Dunstanville Terrace. And there are several car parks you could use, I would recommend 'Town Quarry long stay carpark' which to my knowledge is around £9 a day.

Long-term stays allowed 28 days or more
No smoking
