I can honestly say, that this was one of the most beautiful and well presented places I have ever stayed. Me and my family, stayed in 3 of the houses / cottages on the Ross Bay Retreat and Helmsley Hideaway - The Dairy House, The Old Cheeseloft and Byre By The Sea. In total there were 14 of us. Being in such an exclusive bay location, but all being able to have our own space / areas, meant for a beautifully social yet reclusive short stay.

Lovely cottage, fantastic location, we go every year and always enjoy it immensely. Sue is a great host.
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely hut on the farm. It was tranquil, private and very special. Sue was so welcoming and accommodating, which started our short 2 night stay off perfectly. We ended up staying a 3rd night, due to a storm hitting the morning we were to leave we. It was fun hunkering down, cosily watching telly, and reading while winds blew.

Must have stayed here five or six times now! Every time we feel so at home, and find new places to visit. Really can't recommend it enough. The village is picture perfect, peaceful and friendly. Have already booked for next year.
