    Would highly recommend this rural retreat. It is very special & was a fabulous place to relax & enjoy nature. The birds were especially entertaining. We got to see some awesome wildlife including a Pine Martin & a Roe Deer who visited every day. We found some lovely walks & enjoyed visiting castles & the beach. The house was extremely well equipped & we didn't want for anything. If you want to truly relax and enjoy peace and quiet then this is definitely the place to visit!
