Cullen is so beautiful and the fisherman's cottages are part of the beauty of the village. 61 is a comfortable cottage with all the amenities you will need. 61 is cosy with his log burning stove as well as comfortable central heating. The kitchen is well equipped but their are plenty of eateries and shops to visit. The cottage is really close to the seafront which our dog loved . We are so pleased with our stay we aim on coming back next year. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

If you are over 6ft you will bang your head! The stairs are very steep and narrow Having said the negatives - we loved our stay. It was perfect! Don't go here if you want busy...it's so quiet, a perfect retreat to let the wind and sea breakers wash away the stresses and restore you to health. Also..we were well blessed with dry weather for 6 of our 7 days. Whilst the rest of uk was suffering deluges we had blue skies!

It is more like someone's home than a self catering let. Very well equipped and really clean. The lovely sunny courtyard is a real bonus but spoiled for dog owners by the lack of any fencing across the only open side. Personally I felt that the hob and oven were too fancy/ complicated for a holiday property as no-one wants to have to study instruction manuals to be able to make dinner the first night!
