A lovely place to stay for an adult family holiday. The house was spacious and the kitchen well equipped. It's a small island so we could get everywhere fairly easily. Our highlight was a beach sauna followed by an eving in front of the log burner. The selection of games was excellent, there was something for us all to enjoy.

Overall five stars for the accomodation itself. Nevertheless, we would like to make one point: communication during the booking process was very complicated – and, above all, impersonal. We received numerous incorrect AI-generated emails; the payment process was incredibly complicated, error-prone and only possible via roundabout routes and with the help of the platform. All of this caused us a great deal of stress in the run-up to our stay and urgently needs to be changed.Even at the property itself, there was no personal greeting, no name or designated contact person – everything was very impersonal. Overall, this would warrant a one-star rating, but we’re still awarding all five stars because the location itself is truly beautiful and the restoration of this house has been a real success.

If a cottage can be perfect then this is it. The best and most well equipped we've encountered across many years.The elevated location is stunning with an outlook over a beautiful wide valley running down to the sea at Blackwaterfoot about half a mile away.The house has only recently been renovated so the decor is pristine. Every item of equipment in the kitchen and elsewhere in the house is top quality and the furnishings are also. The log fire is nice and comes with an initial supply of wood that will last the first day and bags of logs easily attainable locally. Some surprising items available such as a fully equipped picnic set and golf clubs. A complete pleasure to cook in the amazing kitchen and then eat in the dining room with patio doors that open to that great view.The information pack in the property is very full and detailed.All in all, the four of us who stayed were in agreement that it tops anything we've ever stayed in.Well done to the owners and we will most certainly be back.
