The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and tranquillity. It is noted as peaceful yet conveniently close to main roads and towns. Some guests mentioned the narrow access road as a minor drawback.

But the cottage was cosy with central heating and an open fire in the lounge, the latter a real luxury for us. We read books, watched DVDs (lots in the cupboard) and toured around. The location is very secluded, the scenery is magnificent and in the off-season the roads are uncrowded. Most restaurants are shut in winter but the cottage's kitchen is superbly equipped.
