Stylish and Luxury Beach Cottage Located at the Award Winning Lunan Bay Scotland

Foreman's Cottage is a stylish yet accessible retreat on the beach at Lunan Bay. It has been featured in many interiors and lifestyle magazines and is fitted out to a high standard by its owners. The cottage has been described as 'property nirvana' by journalists as it features a host of features such as a boudoir style master bedroom, open fire, drench shower, and Electric Rangemaster Oven and Grill. There is a large open plan area downstairs which is painted in calming soothing colours, and a mix of old and new pieces, giving the property the feel that you are in someones home not a rental property. The grounds are fairly extensive which are fenced and mostly laid to lawn, with decked areas for entertaining around the cottage. There is a barbecue and ample parking and disabled access. The accessible yet peaceful unique individual cottage location makes it a great base for visiting other parts of Scotland, or for spending a holiday walking the beach and relaxing.

Dog friendly -
The property is brilliant for dogs and the outside is a large enclosed area with multiple gated points. Dogs are easily exercised from throwing a ball in the garden or being minutes from walking by the river or the beach. Dogs can be easily washed in the car park area with the hosepipe provided. What we do ask is dog mess is picked up and disposed of correctly please. Please note there are rabbits and rabbit holes and our gardener does his best to keep the fences secure and the holes filled in but we do sometimes miss the occasional one, please be aware.
