The cottage's warm and homely atmosphere contributes to a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, though one review mentioned mould in the shower and around the toilet, suggesting room for improvement in bathroom cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful coastal views, and proximity to local attractions, making it an excellent spot for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable and homely, with a warm atmosphere. One review noted the bed cover was too small, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and warm house upon arrival. However, one guest mentioned worn cooker settings, indicating some wear and tear.
While guests have mentioned a welcome package, there is not enough consistent detail about the thoughtfulness of gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such amenities are a bonus and not guaranteed.

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.

Comfortable, clean, well equipped cottage in a quiet, peaceful location. Plenty of bays, beaches & clifftop walks as well as coastal towns & villages all within a short distance. Great view of the night sky & was even lucky enough to capture a few pictures of the northern lights. Highly recommend & I hope to book again in the future.

Great location and a well presented cottage. Really quiet area with stunning views over the north sea with some lovely coastal towns within a short drive. Cottage was well maintained, clean, and had everything needed. Would highly recommend and will look to book again.
