Incredible location. Views are breathtaking. Lobster Pot cafe food is close by for delicious meals. Great walking are the island. Hot tub is an added bonus. Low ceilings in bedrooms and spiral staircase were a problem but the unique location more than compensated. Owners very helpful and pleasant people.

Folder needs updating. Local pub is closed. Nearest one is 25min. Walk away. Some other details in the folder need checking. The glass around the decking could also be put around the hot tub to.
