Brandy Head Observation Post is a stunning and remote place to stay.

The building has an amazing history which you can read about here. We have decided to handle all the bookings ourselves, as there are a number of key things that anyone staying there needs to know:

Access is on foot only. The nearest place to leave a vehicle is 500 yards away at the bottom of a fairly steep coast path so you will need to walk up with whatever you need for your stay.

The facilities are comfortable but basic. The central living room has a 5 ring gas hob, charging points for phones and a very effective woodburning stove. A plentiful supply of logs is included.

There are solar powered lights but no mains power. The restoration was completed to modern building standards and the accommodation is extremely well insulated. There is hot water, a shower, flushing toilet and three spacious rooms.

The building is bookable for one group of people at a time, and will sleep up to six. There are 2 sets of bunk beds in one bedroom and a double bed in the other. All beds are made up and towels etc provided.

Anyone staying there needs to bear in mind the many users of the coast path who pass by the front of the building. On summer days, passers-by quite often stop and rest outside on the benches we have provided. People staying at the Observation Post have a private area behind the building where there are benches and a fire pit. You can, of course, shut the doors and enjoy complete privacy inside the building, although the view of the sunrise over the sea from the front opening double doors is not to be missed!

The pricing structure is extremely simple - £105 per night. For stays of less than five nights, we have to add a cleaning charge of £75.00 - this takes into account our costs in cleaning and preparing such a remote building for each visit. There are no surcharges for extra people/ dogs etc. A 20% deposit is payable by BACS, cheque or cash at time of booking, and the balance one week before you pick up the key from Stantyway Farm.

The location is ideally suited to long distance walkers, rambling groups, families looking to get away from too much modern civilisation or anyone who wants a quiet and quirky place to stay. Pets are welcome.
