Summary: Wonderful location and an amazing wee place to stay. The hut had everything you need for a stay and was perfect for my stay. The only minor drawback was the steep gravel hill you had to negotiate to get to the hut, so be prepared for that. Beautiful location which is one of the best I’ve stayed in.
