Google maps was better to find it. On the long road up there were cows and itâs very dangerous as thereâs nothing on one side to stop the car falling. The home was okay but when we opened the sofa bed there was so much dirt under the sofa cushions. Overall the home was nice.

First impressions were amazingâeverything felt very comfortable and straightforward, and we were able to relax right away. We got our stay at a great price compared to previous visits, but honestly, if we'd paid the full amount, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're splitting the bill between at least six people. The cleanliness of the lodge was generally good, except for the ceilings, which had quite a few spiders. The hot tub was more like a bubble bath, and the WiFi was unreliable. One major issue was that someone had clearly been on our balcony while we were out, as there were footprints and gravel left behind, and we wouldn't have been surprised if they used the hot tub. Some parts of the balcony were falling off, and it would've been nice to have a bin with a proper lid. Despite these issues, the location was perfectâvery quiet, with easy access to beaches, walks, and restaurants.
