Sightseeing and places to visit
Many guests like to spend their whole stay at the cottage and enjoy the wildlife and walks on offer from the doorstep. However, others like to explore, so I hope that this guide tells you a little bit about the local area and where to go for local supplies.
The nearest place to get groceries (Tesco) or there is a deli called Vans on the main street which has organic vegetables, bread and a wonderful cheese selection. There are also some nice cafes, Arvon Ale house and the Albert Hall theatre.
