A lovely comfortable cottage, one of the best we have been to. Superb and relatively remote location amd certainly worth the climb up the long, steep track. Set near the top of the valley we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the surrounding, great for birdwatching but not being too far away from popular sightseeing destinations.

An excellent cottage. Don't be put off by the comments about the access - we were driving cars first registered in 1947 and they did it! So worth it for the incredible view. Mrs Weis was extremely helpful and our stay was a delight. Bring lots of food to eat in - you won't want to go out - no restaurant would beat that view!
