The cottage is a traditional Irish stone cottage that was completely refurbished and brought up to an excellent modern standard. It enjoys the same garden and views. It has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4.

Traharta is a special tranquil area that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Both properties are less than 100m from the water, the rocks and the beach. It is a safe area for children and the rocks pools and water are teeming with life. They provide hours of entertainment and often good catches for the BBQ.
