Very isolated and you'll need a good sense of direction, though a Sat Nav will do the job!

We had a great relaxing holiday at the cottage in the countryside, ideal escape from the rat race of every day life. Very welcome escape in lovely surroundings, just the sounds of wildlife with a refreshing sea breeze, no light pollution at night so you can see millions of stars on clear nights. In all we loved it and would definitely go again perfect for us 👍
