Amazing scenery all around. The Cottage was lovely, clean and considering the current situation, well stocked. Would definitely recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Alison C. 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### May 2025 Lovely cottage, well equipped. Very comfortable, tranquil location. Excellent Laundy area. Amazing welcome package. Wi-Fi slow to even non-existent at times. The photos don't show that you have a house right in front of you (albeit part of the estate) and the beach is further away than expected. ##### Alison C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Horst G. 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Eindrucksvolle Lage Zuerst waren wir etwas von der abseitige Lage des Hauses und der Siedlung in Rispond. Nach Betreten der Ferienwohnung waren wir aber sehr angenehm überrascht. Leider kamen wir fast nie ins Netz, um Kontakt mit zu Hause in Deutschland aufzunehmen. Der Gastgeber, der uns persönlich begrüßte war sehr freundlich und erklärte uns alles. Wer Natur und Ruhe schätzt, der ist hier richtig. Zudem ist man in wenigen Minuten in Durness. ##### Horst G.
