Brandon United States of America

Everything ! Location, comfort, cleanliness of property and the very informative and friendly property manager.

Denise Ireland

Our host, Seamus, was brilliant! He advised us how to get there, was there to meet us and had told us of all the eateries and supermarkets that would be operational during the level 3 restrictions. We were welcome to arrive early and check out late which was great as we had long journeys. Best host we have ever experienced on a lot of travels!

Brian Ireland

Was a lovely spot in a great location. Seamus who owned the cottage was very helpful on giving us directions and making sure we were comfortable with our stay. We we're lucky enough to be upgraded to one of the seaview cottages and the views from the house were amazing and the house has everything you need for a relaxing break. Hopefully be back soon

Hollie United Kingdom

Our 7 bed cottage was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. Seamus was so welcoming and we were delighted to find the heat on and fire lit on a cold wet evening in January. He supplied basics so we could make a cup of tea when we arrived and plenty of turf to keep the fire going.

The cottages were everything we wanted and more.It was so nice walking into a warm,cosy and spacious cottage after our journey. We had 2 cottages for 14 of us and it was perfect lots of room for everyone. Would highly recommend a visit here. Seamus was so friendly and helpful, we are already planning our next trip back.

  • Is there a BBQ on site?
    Unfortunately, at present we do not provide barbecues for guest use. However, there is a suitable paved area outside each cottage to use a barbecue, so guests are welcome to bring their own, or there are disposable barbecues available for sale locally.

  • Hi are there usually fireworks in the area at Halloween?My dog needs to escape the noise at home which terrifies her.I understand you can only guess.
    There is generally no fireworks display in the locality for Halloween. Until now our neighbours (mostly vacant holiday homes) have not set them off. We're less than a mile from the village. At most, some local families might set them off there.
