Everything was wonderful! Host was very welcoming, friendly and informative - loved the tip about where to spot the glow worms after dark! The walk to the lighthouse and then the seal colony was amazing. As for the accommodation, it was perfect in every way - cozy, beautifully furnished and a fabulous view - what more could you want? Highly recommend.

In the cover photo is looks like the hut is secluded, but the owners house is just out of the image. No problem for me, but people that were seeking seclusion may not realize this.In the kitchen I couldn't wash some of the dishes easily because of the dish brush. I suggest putting in a brush with a long handle. I could clean the bottom of the coffee cup for example. Otherwise this place would get a 5 star cleaning rating.The place is overall fantastic. It has charm, its presentation was immaculate, and it was beyond cosy. I would hope to stay again.
