The cottage has everything you could want. It's beautiful, well equipped, the bed is so cosy and I could just live in there. The hosts are wonderfull, there is a lot off information. The scenery is marvelous, the coast is only 20 minutes away and nature and mountains even closer. You should be booking...

Fabulous location in very well-equipped comfortable property. You need to be prepared to drive your car up the very steep narrow bumpy grassy road. It doesn’t have to be a 4 by 4 though (ours was a 5 series BMW with a low underside). The views are stunning and there is plenty of room inside the property, much more so than the photo suggests. We sometimes stored two bicycles inside and they weren’t in the way. The bedroom is comfortable and large with a super comfy bed, and all the usual conveniences of sockets next to the bed on both sides and plenty of natural light via the three windows. The bathroom is brightly lit by a skylight and everything works well. We found the kitchen to be very well equipped and relaxing place to have meals. The living room is large and comfortable. There are quirky fun bits and bobs scattered throughout giving the place a character. We were there for two weeks and didn’t get cabin fever at all, although there is plenty to do in that area (car needed). The owner is very friendly and responsive to queries. The internet isn’t great, but this is beyond the control of the owner.

We had a really lovely stay. The house was on a stunning location. And on a good spot to start the daily excursions It had everything we needed and more. It felt also very homely so at a day of rain it was nice to stay inside and watch a movie (plenty on offer) or read a book. Very comfortable bed too. Lots of information about the surroundings available. Enjoyed it all.
