    The cottage has everything you need and should you require anything else, Seamus and Caroline will help you in any way they can. Dog Scooby and the chickens are adorable. I will come back for sure!

    This is the second time we have stayed and it’s a beautiful property,everything you need is in the property with some really comfortable outside chairs to just sit and admire the fantastic views

  • Annmarie

    Caroline and Seamus were superb hosts, available if we needed anything, which we didn’t as the cottage has everything you’d need. Highly recommend staying here for a nice wee Scottish break and the beaches are amazing, a very underrated island.
