Beautiful, comfortable, warm. Stunning views. Tasteful mix of old and new furnishings and furniture. Felt like a real 'home from home', with a comprehensively equipped kitchen and a well-stocked library of books. Broadband was good, no mobile phone coverage which was fine for us. We enjoyed lighting the fire to keep warm in the evenings - a luxury rather than a necessity as the central heating is very effective.
The water tank had run dry before we arrived due to lack of rain (water is collected from the roof), but Bridget had already arranged for a plumber to attend and for the fire brigade to deliver more water so all was well, if slightly disconcerting! A good introduction to island life for us, and well done to Bridget for co-ordinating at a distance.
