Great location. Found the hob hard to fathom but that's probably because we are used to having Gas. One criticism... wait for it.. no pegs to hang washing out! Other than that couldn't fault. Will definitely stay again.

The cottage is comfortable, warm and well equipped. Aran is the most private of the three cottages up a steep bend on the hill. We didnât use the communal area as had no children but it looked very nice. A very safe place for our dog who loved the freedom outside. Donât forget a bag of carrots for the donkeys who welcome you every morning. Would recommend to Families and couples. Thankyou Jacqueline
