Outside
Outside bench seating reached through patio doors in the main living area, and in Heather, through French windows in the downstairs bedroom too.
Parking area.
If you fancy a quick dip, the secluded cove at Altan abradhan is a ten minute walk north and the sandy shores of Vestey’s beach are a 15-20 minute walk south. For anyone intrepid enough to fancy a spot of wild swimming, there are ample opportunities from the rocky fringes of the Estate, a five minute jaunt from your front door.
Dogs
Well-behaved dogs are most welcome at Cathair Dhubh although must not be left alone in the cottages and given that they can be such mucky pups, we must also ask that they are not allowed on the furniture or upstairs!

What our guests say
Sarah, Orchid Cottage, April 2025The best located cottage we have ever stayed in, a very homely place with everything you could possibly need. Kate and Gary have thought of everything.
Peter, Orchid Cottage, May 2026If I could give this cottage six stars, I would. We regularly saw deer roaming around the cottage in the evenings.
Marion, Orchid Cottage, April 2026Lovely to be able to walk out of the door and be straight onto the coastal paths.
Jodie, Orchid Cottage, April 2024The cottage itself is immaculate, so cosy and peaceful, topped off with some of the best brownies we've ever had.
Michelle, Orchid Cottage, May 2023Dog friendly with an enclosed fence around the cottages. Our two spaniels had the best time.
Jonathan, Orchid Cottage, April 2024We lost hours watching the ever changing light. A perfect place to relax and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Robert, Myrtle Cottage, April 2024Light filled, cosy, with jaw-dropping views to the point it really doesn't matter what the weather is like.
Graham, Myrtle Cottage, April 2025Watching the sun sink behind craggy cliffs framing a millpond-flat sea is a memory we will treasure forever.
Clare, Myrtle Cottage, October 2023You'll experience the most stunning sunrises and sunsets and see the Milky Way.
Sally Jane, Myrtle Cottage, April 2025Second visit and there will be a third.
