When my husband Craig brought me here seven years ago. It just blew me away. It reminds me of the west coast in ireland. (I'm from ireland). Craig was just returning. We have three children Emma Lucy and Jack. Jack is a true West coaster he was born here.

Absolutely stunning setting, the perfect location. The bird life and the waves were all we needed to hear and that’s all we did hear. If you are looking to get away from it all then this is the place.

We had a wonderful stay here at the little house by the sea. It was so relaxing, we enjoyed walks along the beach, beautiful sunsets and cozy by the fire nights. Our host was fabulous and made us yummy hot scones when we arrived. Thank you so much for having us stay.

House was lovely, inviting and so cozy and clean. Woodburner was all set to light. Everything was as advert stated. Lovely host Valerie who made contact immediately to organize entry to home and local things to do. We also went to local Charleston tavern for dinner with lovely friendly atmosphere.

Little Gem

Really lovely new cottage with lots of charm, privacy and the setting was fantastic. Great sandy long beach, we think this is probably a West Coast secret. All facilities cooking bathroom etc were great, had everything we needed to feel right at home and more.

Thanks so much Phil and family. So sorry I missed you guys. Thanks for leaving the place spotless. Very kind words. I do put my heart and soul into the cottage. I'm really pleased you appreciated all the hard work that has been put in and that you enjoyed the area. Im from Ireland and this place reminds me of the west coast of Ireland. Conamara. This is our piece of paradise. Until next time. All the very best. Val Craig Emma Lucy and jack
