What the Owner says:

We have always loved this cottage and, if we could take it with us on our move to Northern Ireland, we would. It is an incredibly special place with a wonderful character and, whether it is ‘dressed overall' for Christmas or bathed in summer sunshine, the place is a home for all seasons. We love the fact you can wander up to the Glen for an interesting walk or enjoy a day on the beach with family and friends.
