Shepherd Moon - Sea View Cottage near NC500

Shepherd Moon is a charming traditional cottage in an outstanding location just off the North Coast 500. When you arrive, you will appreciate the private parking and electric vehicle charger at the rear of the cottage. Shepherd Moon has recently been tastefully updated, with everything designed to give you the best possible accommodation.

Because we always try to exceed your expectations, you will love how fast the Wi-Fi is at Shepherd Moon. Character, comfort, and connected when you need it.

This character cottage is in a tranquil setting. The cosy living room and fully equipped kitchen are on the ground floor. Upstairs is the main bathroom, with bath and shower, together with the two bedrooms.

The cottage has a large private gated parking area at the rear, complete with a 7kW electric vehicle charger that you can use as much as you need to during your stay, at no additional cost. This provides a convenient place for a couple of vehicles at a time and its stone surface means you won’t have to worry about mud in wet weather. At night, motion lighting will activate when you arrive and light your way to the cottage.

The front garden gate takes you to the road where you can walk to the beach or perhaps have an evening meal at the nearby restaurant.

Scenic cottage
If your driving NC 500 this is the perfect cottage for you as its just 2 miles away. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped but be warned the stairs are very steep. If you're staying or any length of time you're best getting a tesco delivery. The scenery is beautiful but access to the beaches is difficult and there are sheep everywhere.

A very pleasant stay
A very relaxing stay at the property. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped. A lot of walks close by and the beach, which is just a short walk away, is extraordinary. A big plus is the log burner in the day room. For us it meant an 11 hour drive to get to the property, but it was totally worth it and we regretted not booking it for a linger period.
