We cannot speak highly enough of Alison and her place. The place itself, which could accurately be called “The Shepherd’s Loft” (we absolutely loved being able to gaze upon the grassy hill, the sheep, and — at night — alllll the stars), is stunning, with every possible need anticipated and provided for with style and comfort. We loved it! BUT what we loved even more was Alison — kind, generous, and clever! She met us at the car rental place to guide us over, which we so appreciated, having never driven on the left side of the road. She scoped out our needs beautifully and even transported us to the perfect walk, right in the area where my ancestors lived. She gave us information galore, including where to find the trad sessions we longed to find (and enjoyed playing in!) Most special of all, she used her local savvy and actually found a fellow Taylor who is writing a book about our family! This was a level of hospitality with many extra miles. Very special. If you have a chance to stay at this place, take it!!
