Old Fishing Village gem
Harbor View is tucked into the cliff side with its beautiful village mates in a breathtaking row of color! The cottage was perfect for relaxing, cooking, happy sleeping and enjoying a wood fire stove.

Fantastic cottage in a fantastic location
Probably the best VRBO cottage that we've ever stayed in. Cozy, warm, beautifully presented. But, it's the little touches that Claudia incorporates that makes this place special. Plus, Pennan is magical.

What makes this property unique

Pennan is quaint,quiet and peaceful.The 30 or so houses all line the single street and everyone knows each other.When you come out of the front door you are right on the harbourside and next to the pebbled beach.
You can sit outside with a glass of wine and enjoy the fantastic sunsets.When it`s cold outside you can curl up in front of the fire and listen to the waves.
