Spotlessly clean and so comfortable that we were only too happy to stay indoors on rainy days as well. I would call it a 5 star holiday home. The family and our dog absolutely loved it.

Loved every moment in spite of terrible weather at first (but even then wild, remote, beautiful). And then four evenings sitting outside in sunshine just loving the sight and sound of the ocean. An absolutely superb week. Thank you.

The views are stunning and if you enjoy walking the location is great. The quality of the furnishings is good and it is well equipped. However, for this quality of holiday let I would have expected a higher standard of appliances, although I appreciate tenants often fail to look after them properly. The cooker clearly needs attention as I struggled to get it to function. Glassware needs addressing as does kitchenware if property let to capacity. If you are looking for a quiet and restful holiday or seeking inspiration for writing, painting or photography this property should be on your list. I was without both power and water for a complete day with no warning or notice, which is unacceptable considering the rental charged and the deserted location.
