Perfect base for us to explore..it is off the beaten track which is what we wanted. Spacious, well equipped and clean - Rosie has ensured you have everything you might need. The only slight niggle was the sofa and chair were not the most comfortable.. but we were too often out for this to matter.

The cottage is located almost at the tip of the island, with a stunning view. It's clean and fragrant, with all the amenities you need for a vacation. If you enjoy peace, quiet, and beautiful, unforgettable views, far from highways and shops, I highly recommend this place.
