A modern cottage with wonderful views but marred by a difficult acces road. Modern, generally well equipped. Some detailed improvements needed, such as hooks behind bathroom and bedroom doors, storage room for own food. Wonderful mountain views. The acces road is frightening - a mile of winding single track road with few pasing places.

We found the cottage, clean comfortable and well equipped with some nice touches. Hot tub was excellent and very private.The only criticism is the dogs barking early in the morning, so no need for an alarm clock!Access is up a narrow single lane track to property which some might find a challenge.But overall I would recommend.

This cottage was a perfect place to stay it was like home from home and even better stunning views in a beautiful part of the world. The cottage was heated to a lovely temperature on arrival so nice not walking into a cold place plus hot tub was up to temperature ready for our arrival too. We would definitely recommend and return again some day soon.
