I had a very peaceful stay in Shore Cottage. Just what I needed to escape the madness of life/full-time work back home. I will miss my morning and evening dog walks to Rigg Bay and round the gardens with their stunning displays of camellias and rhododendrons that greeted me this spring. A really friendly place, as you meet the same locals taking their morning dog walks too. I look forward to going back.

Lovely cottage, in a lovely location. A bit dated in furnishings and decoration. Location was what we had wanted, a short walk to an empty beach. Didn’t realise there would be so few places to buy groceries close by.
