Howie and Martin are such lovely hosts. They go out of their way to help with restaurant recommendations and bookings and are just such nice people. Their attention to detail is next level and the property is beautifully decorated and immaculate. Shops, pubs, restaurants and the most spectacular walks are all on your doorstep as well as easy access to Hill Top Farm by the ferry just 5 minutes walk away. Location couldn’t be better and we loved it here so much we extended our stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
