Lovely, spacious & well-equipped cottage in huge, beautiful gardens, complete with red squirrels. Owners were super helpful throughout our stay & really went out of the way to make sure we had a good stay (homemade biscotti as part of the welcome pack was delicious too). Beautiful area, lots of lovely forest walks & beaches (complete with seals!) & friendly locals although definitely bring your waterproofs as there are not so many indoor options if it's wet. Only downside was that the mattress on the bed upstairs could really do with replacing.
