Quiet. Lovely church nearby. Clean house with plugin perfumes. Parking space for guest. All rooms spacious except for the kitchen (max 2 people). Small fridge. All necessary equipment for cooking.
There are only 20 people who live in Hownam. The weather was a bit erratic..... We had blue skies, rain and even snow! We loved the valleys and the hills. Lots of walking with our dogs. Good books, food, calm and minimal signal! Super break.
