A totally brilliant week. The cottage was everything we expected and more. The view over the bay was beautiful and ever changing. The weather was good to us, although 1 day gave us 4 seasons in the space of a few hours.Complete relaxation in nature. Waking to the sound of the cuckcoo every morning. Fantastic to see wildlife, otters, sea eagles, golden eagles seals porpoise and red deer.
