The Cottage

With granite walls and a pretty, enclosed garden, School House is at once a welcoming spot for your island holiday. Inside, underfloor heating and hardwood floors downstairs compliment the airy bedrooms upstairs.

The lounge is inviting, with a log burner at the heart, and the kitchen is spacious enough to cook up a feast.

Our Favourite Thing

School House enjoys an additional ‘secret’ garden across the path from the property.
