Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Perfect location close to everything you’d want to see and in a quiet area away from roads etc. Ewen was very helpful and friendly and the accommodation was nice, spacious and clean. The one area that could be improved (if you intend to cook for yourself) is the cooking equipment - it would be nice to have a few more pots and pans, a rack to dry plates etc, as there were only a few and they were old and not great. WiFi would also be a plus. We enjoyed it and would stay again with some minor, basic improvements.
