We'll be going back! Very well catered for by Paul and Chris, everything seems to have been thought of. The location is beautiful and a shame the weather turned cold because we enjoyed sitting and looking over the ponds. We did a few walks locally to see the red squirrels and birds. The cabin was very comfortable with a wood burner, large shower anRead mored plenty of electric heating. Lots of facilities too including smart TV, Alexa speaker and full kitchen. Thanks for a great mini break, John & Nat. Hide

We spent a week in this lovely little cabin by the water. Comfortable and cosy with everything you could possibly need, an excellent bed and the best shower we have ever had in a holiday home! Warm welcome and thoughtful touches made our stay perfect. Easy to travel around the island and lots of walks on the doorstep. Highly recommend a stay here.

A beautiful lodge in a stunning setting. You won't be disappointed if you book here. The location is well placed for a lot of the main tourist attractions as well as been far enough away to be in a quiet area. The hosts are welcoming and the lodge is spotless. The layout is well suited for dogs with a little lawn area for them to have space.
