Enjoyed our Stay
We loved our stay in the little house. Even though compact, the house was well equipped for a short stay, the bed in the loft very comfortable, and the shower was lovely and hot. Hamish is a kind and accommodating host, responsive to any need. We enjoyed our walk along the cliffs, too, and visit to town.

Very nice tiny house
The stay was lovely. The tiny house is in the garden of the owners house, well equipped and clean with a perfect view on the bay area / sunrise. Just bear in mind, that you have to climb up some steps to get into bed.

Wonderful getaway location
The house itself is adorable and has all of the necessary amenities for a short stay. The location and views are stunning, and the local area is full of things to do. The owners were lovely and very attentive. I would highly recommend this place, and will likely be back on my next holiday.

Gorgeous tiny house
We had a lovely stay at the tiny house. The room offered dappled sunlight the whole day, perfect for reading a book and relaxing, with windows situated on all walls, allowing the sea breezes to flow through. It was a wonderfully relaxing get away for my young son and I.
