We loved the remote location, peace and stunning view from the cottage. The owner was very friendly and helpful on arrival but otherwise unobtrusive. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable with everything we needed, including excellent wifi. The road is narrow single track to access the property but there is very little traffic. I would absolutely recommend and would definitely book this cottage again.
