"The white cottage is beautiful and larger than I expected (the photo of the living room doesn't do it justice). The location is great with the amazing Clachan Sands nearby.The house has been cared for, there's a 4 poster bed (a very large duvet) and a power shower, what more do a couple need for a week away.A super cottage that I definitely recommend"

"We spent a week at this lovely house with friends covering 3 generations including 3 young children. The house was perfect for us all with lots of in-house games and toys in the garage which was much appreciated due to the wet weather ! The house was very comfortable with lots of room for us all and in a great location for visiting the whole Island . It also has a spacious conservatory where you can relax and enjoy the lovely views .We would not hesitate to return and hopefully get some sunshine next time !"

"This is no ordinary pod. It is beautifully presented with so much thought given to it's furnishing. I didn't expect to find a wine fridge or induction hob, but there they were. The towels are luxurious and the toiletries are classy. There are even pods provided for the Nespresso machine! The fridge is stocked with essentials, and even some non-essential treats. Just as importantly, I was given a proper warm welcome on arrival. I loved my stay here. PS The eggs were delicious."
