The kitchen/dining room enjoys amazing views across the grassy cliffs and out across the Atlantic Ocean. There are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all attractively presented.

There are numerous seabirds and wonderful and rare wild flowers in the grassy slopes, which have been cropped close by the local sheep. Nature lovers will be spoilt for choice.
