This property is tucked away and is certainly off the beaten track. I would advise if you are out all day plan your day as its not an easy drive with sheep and cattle roaming free. The property is one of three, we were in the stable. The surrounding views are outstanding but could be improved with some new patio furniture. Overall the Cottage is a Read morenice place to stay but in my opinion it needs some refurbishment and updating, it is very tired. The bed is very soft Hide

Perfect location with lovely views. The cottage was perfect for two, plenty of space and the bed was comfortable. All the basic kitchen equipment was provided.

Super views from the patio areas. Need to be aware that it is about 2km up a very narrow road with very limited passing places, so it isn't suitable for popping in and out during the day.
