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.

The lodge is exceptional well equipped down to the little things which I always take to self catering places but do not need here eg salt and pepper, kitchen roll, bacofoRead moreil etc. we will certainly be back.
