Very lovely and homely. Has everything you require in a very secluded garden with lots of nature around. Very quiet and remote making it very peaceful.. Lovely secluded beach that is within easy walking distance. Hosts were very welcoming and happy to help if you need anything.

A super venue for us - very quiet though beautiful location yet in the heart of a stunning area. We loved our week there. The cottage was roomy and well appointed and Zoe and Dave, our hosts, were very helpful and engaging.
