So glad you enjoyed your stay here and the garden summer house, its perfect for relaxing in with its sea view. Hope you managed to stroll along our lane to the lighthouse too, on one of your walks.
Thank you for the great review and hope you enjoyed your trip to NI.

Heather is an extremely considerate host who has thought of every detail to make her guests comfortable.
The home is charming, and the setting is beautiful, with access to a lovely garden and coastal walking trails. Would definitely return!
Heather thought of everything when she furnished the Pink Cottage. There were individual jams, butter, fresh bread, cereal, coffee, tea etc. The upstairs loft is spacious with a lovely garden and another little pink cottage that has a living room where you have a fabulous view of the water. There is a microwave, toaster, dishes, utensils etc. There were several tv options. We are big walkers and the path down to the lighthouse connects to the driveway and then the water path. The water to the shower was hot and had good pressure. The towels were bath sheets that were thick and soft. Heather was her husband were always checking to see if we needed anything. I couldn’t recommend a stay at the Pink Cottage more. We would absolutely return. Thank you Heather for being such a fabulous host.🌹
