The cottage is very clean and comfortable with excellent facilities and in a lovely location in easy walking distance of the beautiful local beaches. Although the main part of the cottage is dark due to the size and number of windows, the sun room gets the sun all day.and has a comfortable sofa and armchairs with a large coffee table. It also has a lovely garden with apple trees and outside patio with plentiful seats. We had a lovely stay and the owner was easily contactable with any queries and responded very quickly to the few we had. We would certainly stay there again and would wholeheartedly recommend it to.others.

This has been our second stay in the cottage.

We always leave Ballask cottage with new loving memories.
