The cottage was very clean and cosy. Everything you need was catered for. A lovely welcome pack was given . The scenery was breathtaking. Saw the northern lights the first night there. It was amazing. There's a cafe and gift shop just a 15 minute walk. The Old Jammery. The couple who own it are lovely and her cakes are amazing too. Eagle cottage is a dream and I will definitely be back

Lovely cottage, immaculate and well maintained with everything you need for a comfortable getaway. Location is very remote - just what we wanted - with stunning views over the rugged coastline. Would highly recommend!
