Perfect for escaping the noise of everyday life and relaxing. Amazing views, and we were fortunate with the weather. We would love to return in the future for another little adventure, visiting the surrounding country side and towns.

The only noise you can hear are the birds singing and the sheep. Thank you again for your welcome pack and the eggs are delicious. Hope to return again.
