Had an excellent winter break at Keyland Cottage, it was warm and very cosy even in the wild February weather. The cottage was very clean with everything you needed to make it home from home. Johnshaven is a great starting point for exploring the coast. We would highly recommend a stay and look forward to a return visit.

A beautifully renovated and appointed cottage. Very warm and cozy, while it was blowing a gale outside.The village is very picturesque and has the coastal path running through, making for excellent walking from the doorstep.I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Keyland Cottage and the area in general.
