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.

Stayed here many times, occasionally twice a year. Warm and comfortable. Some kitchen equipment (colander) not there but fridge/ freezer quite new and cooker easy to operate. Great views. Was extremely windy and as cottage is on top of a cliff the first night was quite noisy from howling wind but we knew it would calm. Otherwise completely quiet and far back from road. . Good contact with owner if needed. Best to stock up on all food needed in Fraserburgh before heading to Pennan. I used click and collect from Tesco. We’ll go back.

The cottage was clean, very comfortable with everything you need. It was lovely and warm. It is a fabulous location if you’re into quiet beaches and amazing views. A couple of wee shops a 10 minutes car drive away in Gardenstown. Lovely restaurant at Pennan, you’re best to book. Great communication with hosts. We will be booking again.
