If you are looking for a peaceful location, want self-cater, then this is the place for you. The kitchen is very well-built with a great selection of equipment. The view is absolutely incredible, and the house itself is tastefully and sympathetically decorated and fitted out. We hid for the world for a couple of nights and if you are looking for an interesting, out of the way location, with a stunning seaview, this should be at the top of your list."
