We had a lovely stay in Iona Cottage. Such a warm welcome, from the comprehensive information file on arrival to the provision for the dog. It truly is dog friendly accommodation, with dog bowls, blankets, towels and throws all there to use. Everything was spotlessly clean, the beds are super comfy with cosy duvets and bed linen. The cottage is wRead morearm with effective heating and log burner. The beach is close by and there is even a friendly neighbour with lots of local knowledge to share! Hide
