Great setting close to beach and walks. House well equipped , Air Fryer was a bonus with children. Garden furniture was used daily . Mattresses in downstairs twin room very uncomfortable though , springs beginning to push through .

We have had a fantastic stay at Calluna Cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. It is in a fantastic, stunning location and the garden which is on the edge of the beach was wonderful for barbecues and relaxing. Nearby there are many beautiful walks and places to do mountain biking and golf. We enjoyed walking up the lane and watching the lighthouse on Hestan Island at dusk. A magical place and we thank you very much for our holiday.
