Confirmed Guest
Maisie cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and a short walk to the cafes/restaurant, small shop and tidal pool and there are plenty of picturesque coastal villages a short car drive away. We specifically came for the first weekend in September for the St.Monas Arts festival which was excellent!The only down side for us was the bathroom being downstairs and the shower was very weak - otherwise Maisie cottage was ideal for our needs.
