We had a super couple of weeks at Stonecot. If you have a car or bikes, its location is ideal. We saw red squirrels galore, lots of beautiful wildlife and the beach is only a 2 minute stroll away! It’s also a perfect base for exploring the island, Annika (the host) was warm and welcoming and we had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend.
