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.

The cottage is lovely. The doors and windows need updating they whistle terribly when it's windy as they don't fit properly. Even when they are all closed and the handle on front door pulled up. The area is stunning so many beautiful coves. Dolphin was spotted one day. And we enjoyed watching the Gannets diving from the lounge window.

We loved staying at Mill Shore - an amazing location on the clifftop! As we sat in the living room we wished the windows went lower so we could sit inside and enjoy the full view. Lots of great local walks - Cullykhan Bay, Troup Head, Cronies to Gardenstown and Sandend.
