We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy little cottage. Perfect size for two and in such a lovely spot with plenty of walks nearby. The place was super clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Jason, the owner, was really helpful and made sure we had a great time. The pub just up the road was handyand another just a few minutes’ drive away. The wood-fired hot tub was fun, though it took some getting used to-especially when the hose froze in the freezing weather! Watching the seals right outside was a real highlight too.
