Location was perfect with views that we will miss and never forget. It would be good having some information on the best way to walk down to the shore line, we did get down there but felt the path was close to another holiday cottage and not sure if this was the right way. Also maybe a warning about the road leading up to the cottage; first time had us a bit concerned as we have a city type car that is quite low and ground out on some pot holes, but we got used to it after a couple of days and to be honest a lot of the island is like that if you want to visit everything.

A decent little shop a couple of miles away. No issues at all, but just on a personal note, a little more comfort in the chairs/bed, and a comfy chair downstairs would make it even better for when youâre too tired to climb the stairs after your evening meal. Thatâs just me being fussy though maybe! Overall canât really fault it and would definitely like to return
