Beautiful quiet cottage
I stayed here after my wedding night, the check in could be a lot better as we did not receive the key code and had to stand outside the property at 11pm calling for the code, other than that it was a beautiful cottage, great views and peaceful. The drive way is extremely steep so a sedan might struggle.

Loved our stay
We absolutely loved our stay, everything was perfect. The only negative thing was we didn't receive the key safe code email to get in and were stranded until the phone was answered. 5 stars otherwise.
