Great place to stay and explore the upper west coast

Tidy, comfortable and newly refurbished cottage in a great location with the beach at the end of the garden. Highly recommend this place as a base for exploring the west coast. It was a lovely touch that the fire was lit before we arrived. Would definitely stay again.
