Scenic cottage
If your driving NC 500 this is the perfect cottage for you as its just 2 miles away. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped but be warned the stairs are very steep. If you're staying or any length of time you're best getting a tesco delivery. The scenery is beautiful but access to the beaches is difficult and there are sheep everywhere.

A very pleasant stay
A very relaxing stay at the property. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped. A lot of walks close by and the beach, which is just a short walk away, is extraordinary. A big plus is the log burner in the day room. For us it meant an 11 hour drive to get to the property, but it was totally worth it and we regretted not booking it for a linger period.
