In the middle of nowhere and to have a shop and cafe less than 5 minutes away by car was ideal..shop well stocked. If you want peace and quiet and an unobstructed view this place is perfect.

Nice wee cottage, has everything to get you through the holiday. Enough dishes, pots and utensils. There was plenty of cleaning products. The heating system and wifi were great, the Shower was ok but i would advise that the bed needs replacing but not a deal breaker [We did take our own pillows and duvet]. The cottage is off the beaten path but for the money we paid it was still worth it.
