The cottage sleeps 4 people, in 2 x double bedrooms (there is also a babys travel cot and air bed that can be used if necessary).
Price is £400 per week.
It is surrounded by fields and a view of the sea not far away. It is very easy to get to from the ferries and by air.
Our cottage is detached a little way from our nearest neighbours. On a good day it can be lovely just to sit outside on the lawns which surround the property and enjoy the cows, sheep and wild birds.
