Great cottage in a great location. Perfect to unwind for a week. Living ‘off-grid’ and managing the batteries with solar power was easy once we got the hang of it. Became a bit of a compulsion by the end of the week, to see how little electric we could use! Recommend this place to everyone, proper 4x4 needed for crossing the river if it has rained heavily.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location, the owner was always available for any questions and being a lone female, checked in with me every day to see if there was anything I needed. Surprisingly the internet was exceptionally good and you can get a decent phone signal if you walk part way up the hill. It was well equipped and the welcome basket was much appreciated. If you love isolation, this is the perfect place.

Just what we wanted. Only problem, a rat living under an inspection chamber where cars are parked, ate through the rubber hose to my rear windscreen washer!!!
