10/10 Exceptional

One night stay. Bathroom was good with plenty of hot water. Bed could have been better and there was no where to sit besides the bed.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a pleasure to stay with Shona this week. Very friendly and prompt communication. Upon arrival was a friendly welcome and tour of the property which was modernly styled, very spacious, and immaculate. The large kitchen has no shortage of storage, fridge/freezer space, very large oven, hobs, pans, crockery, utensils etc. and spacious dining area for 8, couldn't ask for more!!! Add to that an ideal location which is right next to the ferry port (first house on the left when leaving the ferry terminal) and just opposite the post office/local store right at the heart of the village. There is also plenty of parking outside / nearby and is nice and easy to get to all of the mainland both by car and bus (stop is just outside). Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Shona.

8/10 Very good

Good stay with an amazing view

Perfectly fine - room was clean and tidy. Eco friendliness? Didn’t see any dolphins murdered so must be dandy. Good value for money. Few minor areas of disrepair that could be improved (e.g windows don’t stay open and room was hot).
