It was a privilege to stay in such an iconic, stunning location for a long weekend at a quiet time of year. Fabulous walks and good dining out options despite being such a small place.

Such a lovely cozy cottage, full of character and tasteful yet practical interior design in an amazing location. Created a wonderful weekend break with family. Plenty within walking distance and the hosts were very helpful at resolving any issues and queries. Would highly recommend
