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.

Excellent cottage. Clean and comfortable, plenty of space, with everything required. The views of the sea over the cliffs and to Pennan are great. Short drive to the local RSPB reserve and from there a good walk to Gardenstown, where there is a SPAR and cafes. We had a great week visiting local areas and attractions. If we return to this area we will definitely look to book this cottage again

Stunning location, lovely cottage, clean and well equipped. Great hot shower which needs the riser/holder fixed but I managed to get it to stay in place, just! I didn't find the information folder until the day before I left - would be good if this was left out. More toilet roll would have been good too. As a photographer/wildlife enthusiast I would have loved access to the sea views outside the cottage but this was private. I had stunning views from the windows, just couldn't get them outdoors. Minutes away from Pennan village and RSPB Troup Head.
