Feels like you're in the middle of no where but only 3 miles from nearest pub and small shop. Lots of walking opportunities . Welcomed with a deliscious home made cake too.

The house is very cozy. nothing is missing in it. a delicious welcome cake. The windows offer a view of the mountains, an hour's walk to the sea. These 2 weeks were the best break from the city. I recommend it wholeheartedly. We will definitely come back here

Wi fi was a bit hit and miss. House equipped with everything you will ever need! Even the dog was sad to leave
