    The property is spacious, clean and gorgeous 😍 The location is absolutely breath taking! We arrived to a heated room which was much appreciated as it was a cold winter’s day with rainy weather. The extra blankets available in the cupboard came in...

    John, the host went the extra mile to assist after I had mistakenly booked the wrong date. After arroval he made sure we were satisfied with our accommodation and even shared a bit of whale info with us. All in all a lovely experience!
