The cottage is well kitted out, fantastic views and an excellent lawn which the dogs enjoyed. The village itself just had a co-op and a garden centre ( closed Monday and Tuesday) but is well placed for visiting surrounding areas.

We had the most wonderful stay at Stinchar View - what an amazing little place, overlooking the fields and the sea, with wonderful skies and sunsets. We found Ballentrae a friendly village, with a wonderful pebble beach to walk along - as far as you like. What a fab hot tub, with a cottage that has everything you need!

Absolutely loved our stay here! House was spotlessly clean and had everything you needed for a perfect stay. The dogs loved the very large secure garden and the views were amazing. Hot tub was fab after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Providing dressing gowns was an added bonus! The house is on a busy road, which we knew about from reading previous reviews, but the noise was never an issue for us. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.
