    A beautiful, comfortable house. I appreciated my bed, arriving on a late ferry. Thoughtful additions like a shower mat, and also a delicious breakfast. Fiona was very attentive and friendly. I'd love to return.

    Fiona and Colin were brilliant hosts. The breakfasts are fresh and cooked to order, along with a wide selection of cereals and juices. Our room was spotless and roomy, with a big closet for hanging up rain-dampened clothes. It’s a 20-minute walk...
