Sadly just a short stop, but loved it
4 Adults and 1 child. Only a quick stop over to go whale watching the next morning (very convenient). The host was lovely. The cottage was rustic but comfortable and cosy. We will need to try and come back and enjoy the activities on offer. Recommend +++

Good farm stay experience
It was a fun experience to feed all sort of animals in the morning. The room is old and typical farm cottage. But it has everything a modern facility that we need. I.e. hot shower, heat pump, TV, kitchen appliances. Recommended for short stay !
