Views to die for, pub just down the hill, excellent coastal walks. Pitch black at night but sadly no Northern Lights. Bring a torch or two. Would definitely stay again.

Warm and cosy, with the best views of the sea. This is our happy place and we absolutely adore a week here, returning truly rested and refreshed. Our only feedback would be to ask for bigger bath towels please (bath sheets?) ⦠the ones provided are so lovely and soft but only just big enough to go around after a shower, and Iâm 5ft6 and a size 10 so not huge! Itâs such an otherwise cosy house it would be lovely to be able to properly wrap up!
