This is the perfect place for a stay on Holy Island; a central location, a garden, friendly and helpful hosts and a clean and well kept home from home. We hope to return again soon.

A great location and a really well equipped cottage. Perfect for wandering the island. The larger bed was really comfy and the bath luxurious! A note though... The floor is varnished or polished wood and really slippery. The stairs particularly so. If you have children or mobility issues you may want to make sure you bring slippers/ indoor shoes and take extra care. My partner fell down the stairs and spent the week in pain with significant bruising, not what you want on holiday!
