Its a beautiful place very comfy, all you need in the kitchen, views are amazing, I would recommend this to anyone we didnt do walking because of health reasons but it was still worth it we didn't want to go home, We were shown around the cottage on arrival from William or Neil very friendly and couldnt do enough for us if needed, Love this place
