Susan
We were a party of 11 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs. The kitchen was fully equipped, and there was plenty of seating for us all in the lounge/snug area. We also appreciated that we could all eat together at the large dining table! Everywhere was clean and nicely decorated, with views to die for! We were greeted by the lovely owner on arrival, and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Thank you We will be back! Sue

The house is perfect for a large family gathering and itâs in the perfect location overlooking the bay. We were even lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis, which was incredible. We would definitely recommend this property thank you so much.
