half available for letting and the MacLachlan family residing in
the other.

extends to 1500 acres of a working farm, woodlands and coastline.
A 15-minute walk away towards the shore lies the New England-style

and open seasonally. This is a wonderful area for enjoying woodland
walks and wildlife such as pine martins, roe and red deer as well
as marine life including otters, dolphins and porpoises.Guests
