We had a wonderful stay at Keyland Cottage.
We had a wonderful stay at Keyland Cottage. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We appreciated the welcome pack, including treats for Millie the fox red lab. A small mirror and a hook on the back of the door in the twin room would have been handy as there is nowhere to hang anything but these are minor points and all in all we wouldn't hesitate to return to this lovely cottage. Johnshaven is a peaceful village and everyone was really friendly.

A fabulous, modern, cosy, well appointed cottage in a great fishing village.
We had an amazing 2 nights, with our dog, and will definitely stay again.
Lots to do in local area, including a great pub/restaurant, shop and cafe.

Keyland Cottage was perfect for our mini break.
Keyland Cottage was perfect for our mini break. The cottage was well presented with lovely ambience in a lovely setting. Nice welcome gift for us and our dog much appreciated. Would have been lovely to stay longer as Lobster shop wasn’t open during our stay. Will need to return.
