“I found a real sense of peace here, nestled in a landscape that feels wonderfully remote yet surprisingly accessible to local amenities. The cottage itself is a masterclass in cosy, high-end design that honours its rustic setting, with thoughtful touches throughout that make it feel truly special. Following the burn to the beach revealed a truly spectacular, secluded spot.”
