Amazing location! The house was perfect for our group of six adults. The sunset each night was worth the detour. The host Charlotte is very quick to answer any question.I would recommend this place to friends and family without any hesitation.Great all around!

This was the perfect booking for our trip! Everything about the location, house, check in, and check out were top notch. Kids were a little disappointed that the sheep in the adjacent field didn’t want to play, but they got over it fairly quickly after curling up next to the windows to take in the view and read some books. Highly recommended and would book again.

This place is amazing! The house is lovely and well-equipped. Waking up to a view of the beach every day is hard to beat! The host was great at communicating throughout the booking and check-in process and provided lots of additional information about the home and the surrounding area. The house itself is well kept and nicely decorated. The drive to the property takes a bit of getting used to (the last five miles are single track with lots of curves and hills) but other than that, it’s perfect!

Beautiful house and amazing views! We loved it! You do need to prepare yourself for a 5 mile drive on a single track bumpy road to get in and out everyday. But it’s worth it!

An absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean. The tide goes out and we walked on the beach with the most amazing clouds and colors. The house was spotless and the host very responsive. The location is way more beautiful and striking than the pics show. If you want a home that is off the beaten path and surrounded by great beauty this is for you.

This is an amazing place to stay! Beautiful , spacious house, off the beaten path, on the beach, perfect for our group of 5 adults. Great kitchen with enough pots and pans for cooking and eating and storing food. Lovely rooms. pretty outdoor space to enjoy the surrounding scenery. Beautiful sunsets. Loved sleeping to the sounds of waves rolling in and sheep calling out in the distance. Perfection! Long one lane drive off the main road.

Such a stunning location, jaw dropping beauty. And the property was very well laid out, spacious and clean! Truly amazing. The pics don’t do it justice. Be warned, drive slow on the road to Gilead House. It’s a single lane, bumpy hilly road. All the drivers we met were cautious and courteous though.

This was a mixed bag. The property is rather remote, so perfect for anyone wanting to get away from the maddening crowd. It's views are lovely. It offers many amenities such as a working fireplace, washer and dryer (more on those later), beach front, lovely rooms, heated floors and towel racks in the bathrooms. The shopping area is approx. 20 mins drive away - not crazy far - and they have a few lovely cafes, shops, groceries and pharmacies When we arrived however, the house was freezing cold. We turned everything that could possibly heat the house on, and it was warm 24 hours later. But, not very welcoming. There are also strict instructions re parking. It requires you to squeeze into a specific spot between two perpendicular stone walls and maneuver around the gates at the same time. Quite a feat in a rented, unfamiliar car. Washing clothes turned into a marathon night. A head's up to the owners: your washing machines aren't like ours. At all. A user's manual would save a lot of frustration and time for your guests. So, pros and cons. I don't thing we would return but only because if the remoteness.

This property and surrounding area was gorgeous. The house is clean and modern, despite the wonderful history. It was tranquil and very private, only a few other houses around and very little activity on the road. We thoroughly enjoyed the drive in and we were still close enough to experience some of the great things this special island has to offer. I would absolutely book this property again, as would any friends who have seen the pictures.
