A lovely cottage a stones throw from the beautiful pebble Porthallow beach. A well maintained cosy cottage with all the amenities you need. The balcony at the rear of the garden was beautiful in the evenings! A great stay, thank you.

Rutherglen is a pretty, well-appointed cottage, with a small steep garden at the back and less than 5 minutes from the beach. The village has a great little pub - The 5 Pilchards, and a walk up the hill to the famous 5 Apples Café, which does the most wonderful breakfasts - traditional, vegetarian or vegan! Everything was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for us and the location is perfect.
