Really lovely cottage, with everything you need. Sarah and Richard are the perfect hosts. The garden is a dream filled with wild life birds, red squirrels darting to and fro plus a big badger came to eat the peanuts Sarah kindly gave us to throw out each evening. Lovely welcome basket too. Really enjoyed staying there.

An ideal base whether you are touring the island or want to rest and relax. We were there during a bitterly cold week in February and spent as much time enjoying the warmth and comfort of the cottage as we did visiting various parts of the island.
