We stayed for 5 nights in this beautiful property. It was very warm and comfortable, with thoughtful attention to detail from the under floor heating to extra towels for.damp dogs ! We had no problems with the WiFi or phone reception. Amazing views of the local mountains, and no light pollution meant a perfect view of the night sky . A great base to explore the island .

Half of 2 is a lovely place, very well equipped and a nice quiet location with a fabulous view. We had everything we needed and more. Dog friendly and comfortable, under floor heating in the bathrooms a nice surprise. Comfortable sofa, chairs, beds and good showers - all you need after a day exploring. I’d happily book again.
