We had a lovely stay at this cottage. Beautiful location, very quiet but easily accessible to main roads for getting about the island.

A lovely, well equipped cottage. Furnished and decorated well. Jigsaws, games to play and books to read were supplied. A helpful collection of tourist leaflets, an ordnance survey map and street maps (useful for island walks) were provided. The gardens were well maintained and lovely to sit in.

This is a great place to stay, which is why we have stayed here several times - the cottage is in a peaceful location, well equipped and comfortably furnished. It is also well maintained and on the rare occasion there is an issue, it is dealt with effectively - just prior to the start of our latest stay, the tumble drier had expired and the owners Read morearranged fitment of a brand new one the very next day.

A great comfortable and well equipped cottage in a rural location ideal for exploring the island. Despite bad weather on mainland we had a surprisingly dry and mild week during the day with most of the heavy rain overnights. Large garden with with tables and chairs but sadly not warm enough to enjoy.

Lovely place to stay, very quiet and secluded, easy to get everywhere on the island. Well proportioned spaces and well equipped. Steep staircase but good bannister and handle mean its ok.
