Love these cottages! TBH this isn't for folks who want active holidays, there is walking, quiet and the sea which is just what I wanted. It is remote, so be prepared to drive as there are no supermarkets, shops, restaurants etc. Not a bad thing, just be prepared.

Beautiful location, quiet, parking next to lodge, site security good - keypad access and night lights. Farm track from main road requires some large holes filled in. Lodge very cosy, all lodge facilities worked with useful manuals for guidance, if needed. Suggestions on restaurants to visit plus local maps good.
