Lovely cottage, set in a a peaceful location beautifully maintained.Although there is an inn opposite its only opened on certain days and times, plus need to book the restaurant well in advance , unfortunately we were informed it was booked for the 2 weeks we were there. The walk to Port Ban was great with a nice cafe and small shop. The scenery to and from the cottage was wonderful, but roughly 16 miles to the main road.

Cottage was a cosy, comfy holiday home for the week. Although it was secluded the wildlife and the garden were a joy. Weather turned out perfect for us and we did find ourselves getting rather too comfy. Definitely a good week was had 😍
