Guests say
Mill Shore Cottage receives high praise for its stunning coastal location, breathtaking views, and peaceful atmosphere. Guests consistently mention the cottage’s cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped kitchen, making it an ideal base for exploring the area or simply relaxing. Wildlife sightings, including seabirds and seals, add to the charm. While a few minor issues were noted, such as bed comfort and the absence of a welcome pack, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests returning year after year.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as clean and tidy, with only one mention of minor issues such as stained kitchen chairs and some dirty cutlery. Overall, guests are very satisfied with the cleanliness.
The location is repeatedly described as superb, peaceful, and perfect for those seeking quiet beaches, dramatic views, and wildlife. Its proximity to Pennan and other coastal villages is a major highlight.
Guests generally find the cottage very comfortable and cosy, with warm interiors and good beds. One review notes high beds and small towels as minor drawbacks, but these do not detract significantly from overall comfort.
The cottage is well equipped with modern appliances, reliable WiFi, and ample parking. Some minor suggestions for improvement (e.g., missing colander, step stool) are mentioned, but facilities are generally praised.
Some guests expected a welcome pack, but only basic supplies were provided. While cleaning supplies and essentials are included, gifts or extra touches are not guaranteed.

No smoking.. These two very comfortable semi-detached holiday cottages (26817 and 26818) occupy a stunning elevated position on a mixed working farm on the headland just outside the beautiful village of Pennan. Both properties boast fantastic sea views; Mill Shore Cottage has a cosy living room which features windows on two sides allowing uninterrupted viewing of Mill Shore below – a secluded shingle beach with sandy shallows beyond, offering a unique perspective on the abundant marine life – seals can be spotted easily in the bay, whilst further out whales and dolphins are often sighted. Pennan Lodge again has marvellous views of Pennan itself and the bay beyond. In addition to the amazing marine life, just round the corner and visible from the cottages is Troup Head, a renowned nature reserve featuring the only UK mainland colony of gannets. Next door is Cullykhan Beach, another secluded cove reached by a steep walk down to the shore. Pennan is renowned for its famous phone box as featured in the film ’Local Hero’ but it is a lovely village in its own right, typical of those strung out along this rugged coastline, including Crovie and Gardenstown, reached by steep winding roads to the bottom of the cliffs from which they cling. This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing wonderful areas for walking. Shop and restaurant 4 miles, pub ¼ mile.
