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.

Sensational from start to finish. The most incredible setting if you like peace and quiet. Could not fault it at all. An absolute gem of a place. Clean, comfortable with everything you need for a proper relaxing break away from it all. We would defiantly recommend without hesitation. Try the food at Pennan Inn. Locally sourced produce. Shona’s delicious home made cakes at her coffee hut in pennan is a realTreat. Visit the little pottery shop on the bay next to the cottage. I bought some lovely keepsakes, pretty shingled cove to sit by to and bird watch. Would we return? …….. definitely 🙌🏼

Lovely peaceful place to stay with great views off the sea. Clean and tidy the only small problem was someone had damaged the tv when we let them know it was replaced immediately can’t fault them.
