Perfect spot just close enough to town - but not too close. And near the lovely coastal walk. Very comfortable room. Charming staff to greet you. A lovely spot. I'd stay here again for sure.

The room is excellent in space, tidiness, and I love the front door balcony very much! We enjoyed the breakfast everyday outside for our 2 night stay. It is located next to a wheat farm and we observed a lota of good birds around the house! Also, the sheeps, alpacas, deers are all so cute! They all have a name but I forgot their names now.. When you got some feed for them, they were all look crazy and licking your hand.

The cottage was very big and the backyard space was huge, amazing moutain views. Jane was very helpful.There was also a really cute room at the top which had enough space for a family of 4 and there were stunning views from the windows.The trampoline was the most fun my kids ever had on a trampoline. Breakfast was provided in the cottage.
