This is a superb location with several lovely walks right from the lodge. Its peaceful, relaxing, and offers beautiful views whether youre unwinding indoors or enjoying the outdoor space. The lodge is exceptionally well equipped and benefits from excellent heating, making it comfortable in all weather conditions. Weve returned for the past threeRead more years, which speaks for itself. Having already enjoyed a stay at the end of May this year, were looking forward to returning again in July for another week. Highly recommended. Hide

The cottage is perfectly located just 50 metres from the sea. There are plenty of walks directly from the lodge. Internally the cottage is 5 star, very comfortable and everything provided. Weve stayed in the same lodge three times already and intend to go back next year.
