Burdy's nest was the perfect set-up for us. We (with our dog) were made to feel very welcome which made for a relaxing stay. The kitchen was well equipped making meal times easy. Our dog Myca enjoyed finding the doggy toys, she gave them all good go.

This is an extremely well-equipped bach in a lovely rural setting. The hosts are on-site, very friendly and helpful. For our early Spring visit the very efficient heating and hot water systems were perfect. And we were able to enjoy the great views from a covered front deck even when it was raining! We loved it!
