Lovely place to stay with constant view of sea from window or from perfect little garden. Don’t forget binoculars. I loved being seconds from beach for a peaceful walk with my dog before breakfast. Very comfortable furniture and bed. Lovely fireplace with little stove.Thank you for welcome pack .

Had such a relaxing break in a beautiful,well equipped cottage.
Had such a relaxing break in a beautiful,well equipped cottage. The weather was good for the time of year. The views were to die for. So enjoyed watching all the birds. The only thing we were wary off was the entrance road, it was so narrow. Neighbours were very friendly. We loved the gifts that were left for us, thankyou for surprise. The changing weather didn't bother us, we are Scottish after all!Thankyou again x

The cottage is warm, cosy and welcoming.
The cottage is warm, cosy and welcoming. Views looking right onto the sea, with a lovely, sheltered enclosed garden (ideal with a dog). Great beach and lots of interesting footpaths and walks around the village. Well stocked grocer shop. Everyone you meet is really helpful and friendly. Very relaxing. Would definitely return.
