Ross Bay Retreat

About Ross Bay Retreat

Our quartet of self catering holiday cottages, Ross Bay Retreat, was set up alongside the working farm at Ross Bay back in 2014.

It was initially established with our 2 bedroom self catering ‘Creel Cottage’ in 2014 (sleeps 4).

Followed by the 3 bedroom ‘Dairy House’ in 2015(sleeps 5) and

‘The Old Cheeseloft’, a 3 bedroom cottage was fully converted in 2016 (sleeps 5).

Finally ‘Byre By The Sea’ was completed in 2019, offering two bedrooms (sleeps 4).

All our cottages at Ross Bay Retreat
have been refurbished to a very high standard and are all pet friendly

Wood burning stoves are provided for our guests within a very comfortable home from home setting.

The cottages offer lovely views across the bay which affords some magnificent sunset views. Don’t forget to look upwards to the magnificent dark skies

later in the evenings.

We have been increasing biodiversity here at Ross Bay with wildflower seeds / areas, and cleaning out / reinstating the old dam during the summer of 2019.
