  • "What a fabulous property!"

    ! It was just gorgeous, lovely comfy furnishings & outdoor space. Brilliant upstairs snug with stunning views over the sea. The kitchen had everything you needed. The utility room was fully kitted out. Very thoughtfully left for us were cream cakes & delicious scones. The House was immaculate, very cosy & warm. The location was just how we liked it, away from noise & rural with stunning views & a brilliant night sky. We have rented a lot of holiday homes over the years and this is certainly up there as one of the best we’ve rented.

    We were a group of 6, three couples, so the house was perfect. Plenty of bathrooms, very comfortable beds and lovely views. It's a bit of a walk to Castletownshend, so you definitely need a car here.
