The view as you come up over the hill for the first time is absolutely exhilarating. Thundering waves, vast rocky cliffs, green sloping hillsides dotted with sheep and a perfect little cottage tucked away on the side - and no one and nothing else for miles.
The inside of the cottage is unbelievably cosy, with a big woodburning stove, snug, lovely old dining table and an ancient dresser crammed with books, games and treasures from the beach. Driftwood and antiques, sheepskin rugs and nautical charts make for the most effortlessly stylish cottage interior you've ever seen.
Water is heated by the stove and comes out piping hot. There is a good little kitchen and everything you might need to make a well-earned feast after a long day of walking and fresh air. There's not really much electricity but plenty of solar lights and phone signal if you need it - but in any case switching off one's phone for a few days is blissful! The beds are deliciously comfortable and even the bathrooms - a touch more modern than the rest of the place - are charming.
We went and explored the area a bit - there's lots to do and see and just endless beautiful walks where you feel like the only people in the world for most of the time. The beach is a two minute walk away and a swim in the sea quite refreshing (or so we would imagine..!). It's wonderfully soothing listening to the waves and the wind as you go to sleep.
We absolutely loved our stay - left feeling quite humbled by the beauty and rejuvenated by the pace of life and just dying to come back. Thank you so much for making a place like this exist.
