Excellent accommodation 10/10. Will definitely return
Pros:

Stunning location Scenic & peaceful
Very good breakfast
Very relaxed atmosphere

Cons:

Upstairs WiFi was a little hit and miss. But you come to a place like this to get away from such things so it wasn’t a big issue WiFi downstairs was very good
