Can't recommend The Haven enough, the cottage is in a perfect location, really well equipped and incredibly warm and cosy. This was our 3rd visit and we can't wait to return. We were blessed to have the tide in during the day for most of our week so we had the island to ourselves. Beautiful scenery, peace and quiet and excellent and beer at the Crown & Anchor.
