This is a charming traditional character cottage with a super v w campervan size parking space. The setting is gorgeous looking across the burn to the church. It is very well placed to visit the coast, for walks and to go to interesting towns and National Trust properties.

Fantastic cottage. Everything you could possibly need and anything you may have forgotten had been thought about. So well equipped. Particularly appreciated the books and leaflets of surrounding areas. Lovely village and great location as base for exploring. Would highly recommend and would most certainly stay again
