The downstairs loo is noisy especially at night. We had a nice time though and the beach and surf were amazing

We had a lovely, comfortable stay in a special cottage in a special place. Well done Louise for contributing to a much needed relaxed break. The cottage is very close to the beach and just a short walk from the harbour. Cullen is hilly, but we just took our time and even got to the top of Castle Hill on paths created by local volunteers.
