Cosy cottage in amazing location
We loved our stay in Shore cottage. Outstanding location right on the beach, yet right next to the A75 for easy access to local amenities and attractions. We didn't notice any traffic noise from in the cottage, and the sound of the waves and the curlews out the back was amazing. Cottage was clean and had everything you needed. Great efficient log burner for those chilly nights. Comfy sofas and the very helpful friendly owners only live 200yds down the road. My only slight cons would be the stairs are very steep and slightly treacherous, not suitable for those with mobility problems. Also the ceilings upstairs are quite low, but we didn't find this as much of a problem as it might have been. We would be happy to come back here again and again!
