Pros:

Wer gerne mit den Menschen vor Ort in Kontakt kommen möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Eine sehr persönliche, heimlige Unterkunft mit super nettem und lieben Personal und Menschen.
Die Lage ist perfekt um die Umgebung zu erkunden: Coastal Trail, Castle Trail, Whisky Trail - alles läuft hier vorbei.
Kommen gerne wieder, wenn wir nochmal in der Gegend sind ♡

Cons:

Die Matratze war nicht mehr perfekt, aber noch ganz o.k.
