What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 300 guest reviews
View Crest Lodge earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its scenic coastal setting, clean and well-appointed cabins, and warm staff — with the hot tub, fireplace, and delivered breakfast frequently called out as standout perks. A handful of guests flagged practical shortcomings, including a limited breakfast spread, no direct beach access, steep entry stairs, and occasional light and hot-water issues. Overall, it reads as an excellent-value retreat with only minor niggles.
