A beautiful spot for a break, right on the stunning beach and close to loads of great areas to visit and enjoy. The house itself is really big and well presented.

Winter Stay at Hector
Everything was as expected. Well equipped kitchen, and the beds were comfy. Our stay would have been perfect if the window in the bathroom was fixed. The screen was broken, and there was no glass. Also, the bathroom was not heated, so a bit of a shock in the middle of the night! The hosts were great, and responded quickly to questions.

We loved everything about our stay. The house was fabulous, perfectly kitted out with everything and more that we might need, clean and tidy. The location was just what we wanted as we explored around the top of the West Coast. Thank you so much Marie.

Great place to stay and explore the upper west coast
Tidy, comfortable and newly refurbished cottage in a great location with the beach at the end of the garden. Highly recommend this place as a base for exploring the west coast. It was a lovely touch that the fire was lit before we arrived. Would definitely stay again.

West Coast Getaway
Perfect location for local walks, longer tramps and long mountain bike adventures. Swum in the sea most days although the West Coast was enjoying an exceptionally long settled summer. The house is old but comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen, spacious but with a few quirks to be expected with an older building.

Great Location
Thank you so much for sharing your families property with us! I have always adored the coast but have never travelled north of Westport & Hector is just wonderful. We had a fantastic stay, everything we needed was there and we were very comfortable. We had beautiful weather, having the beach in the backyard was brilliant, so was the soft green lawn! You can tell a lot of love and care goes into taking care of this property. Thanks again, i'm sure we will be back! Mel & Adam
