Stayed for two weeks and as this is our seventh visit it was just as fantastic as our first. Sue provides a truly wonderful place to stay. It's a complete wind down with a view to absolutely die for. We will be going back as soon as we can, would not want to miss this wonderful location form my list of holiday places.

We had a super week at Byre by the Sea. It’s in a wonderful location at the Ross Bay, with views to die for from every window. We were welcomed with a lovely lemon cake and a tub of the local ice cream, which was the perfect treat after a long drive. The dog welcome treats were a lovely touch, and our Shih Tzu–Poodle was very happy with her new toys and chews. The property has all the amenities you need. It’s well equipped, warm and comfortable, and we really enjoyed our stay. There are, however, a few areas where we feel the property could be improved. It would be helpful to have some b...more

Friendly host, fantastic location, lovely warm house. This is one of the most peaceful places I have ever stayed, away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. I would highly recommend.

Our stay at Creel Cottage was excellent. Having had a busy few months I needed a place to completely relax and Creel did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated throughout. Bedrooms cosy and quiet. Good kitchen. Great views of the beach from living room area and bistro unit. Delighted with several walks from Creel to nearby beaches. What a find! Thank you. We will be back

The cottage was ideal for my needs - I stayed for a month, and needed to work while I was there. I also had a dog with me, and the cottage was great for him, with the large garden. The cottage was well equipped and had everything I needed. The broadband speed was fine for working. The owner is very helpful and any minor issues are dealt with promptly. I liked the quiet village location, it was very peaceful and restful. I would definitely stay there again.
