Der Ausblick ist einfach grandios, die Lage auf den Klippen einmalig. Das Cottage ist so geschmackvoll eingerichtet , alles was man braucht ist vorhanden. Wir waren vom ersten Eintreten an begeistert. 'Such a beautiful place to feel comfortable. The view is simply magnificent, the location on the cliffs is unique. The cottage is so tastefully decorated, everything you need is there. We were thrilled from the moment we entered' (From Google translate*).
