Lovely place that's quiet and peaceful. The hosts are fantastic and on hand to help with anything. The WiFi worked great with no issues and the wood fired hot tub was a fantastic change. Absolutely fantastic views of the ocean.

A beautiful cottage, very clean and welcoming. A long drive up a farm track but worth it for the scenery and cottage. Owners very welcoming and pleasant with a bottle of fizz and chocolates as a welcome present. Well worth a visit

A very well appointed cottage in a stunning setting. We had a three night stay, and enjoyed every minute. Whilst we didn’t do much, eg in terms of walking, we did lots of relaxing! The owner welcomed us, and gave us a briefing on how to use the facilities of the cottage. This was such a nice touch. We will return.

Cottage was lovely, though we had a couple of issues with toilet light not working & water coming in after heavy rain on 1 window but a lovely stay. Thanks for note on a previous review about the lack of toilet roll as there was only half a roll in each of the 2 toilets which would never last 4 females 5 nights!
