Map from Google Maps
The self-catering holiday cottage can be seen in the centre of the Google Map below. The imagery from this area is somewhat
out of date as the holiday cottage still shows up on Google Maps as having a rusty corrugated iron roof. This cowshed roof
was removed prior to the start of the rebuilding work which has been carried out over the last 4 years.
The imagery also does not show the access road which has also been added since the building was purchased in 2005.
The access track starts around 1/2 way up the diagonal road in the bottom right of the map view, and travels north,
up the hill through the centre of the two fields to the east of the holiday cottage before leveling off and turning left
towards the holiday cottage. Car parking for two cars is available just outside the holiday cottage.
