Fantastic hosts and great accommodation.
Had a most enjoyable stay at The Old Cottage with wonderful hosts Karen and Darren. Really comfy double bed & great shower. Had the benefit of a gorgeous roaring fire in spacious lounge area at night with lots of DVDs and a library of books about stuff to explore in the local area.
Darren and Karen were such lovely people, warm , friendly and gave helpful tips about the locality. Breakfast was fabulous, tasty and varied. Would highly recommend this B&B and will definitely be back.
Many thanks to Darren and Karen for an amazing break.

Unforgettable!
What a lovely place to stay! Darren and Karen are marvellous hosts, couldn't do enough to make our visit truly memorable. And the breakfasts were delicious, as well as superbly served. The view over the bay, and the local wildlife enjoying their breakfasts outside the window, added an extra charm ...
Coupled to a superb restaurant at the hotel next door, not to mention the magnificent scenery and history of the area, we couldn't have found a more ideal place for a short holiday.

Highly Recommended
Where do we start! Idyllic location, lovely warm welcome, room v.clean & comfortable with ensuite and excellent views.
Breakfasts were Top Class and very accommodating when we had a very early start one morning. Darren had a wealth of knowledge about places to see & best routes to take and where to see the wildlife.
Also willing to lend us guides/books with us.
