Crab's Toes Bed & Breakfast

Closed

Sold

Crab's Toes B&B was sold a number of years ago and the new owners are no longer offering accommodation.

Although Sheila is unable to offer B&B in the village, she does now do short term holiday lets with her cottage. For more details please visit Pufin Cottage, Pennan

Once again I would like to express my thanks to all those I have met over the years while running Crab's Toes.

Pennan, Local Hero Village - Scotland

Location


The village of Pennan lies north west of Aberdeen, nestled below the cliffs by the sea on the Moray Firth coast. ( Please see Map ) It first rose to fame thanks to its role as one of the locations for Bill Forsyth's film Local Hero in 1982. The film told the story of the canny villagers and how they outwitted executives from the global oil company wishing to develop the beach for an oil refinery. Nowadays the village offers a perfect retreat in which to relax for a few days and take part in some of the many local activities and pursuits. Why not discover the delights of Pennan for yourself ?

Accommodation

With only one row of houses in the village you're never far from the sea, just check the view from the front of the house at high tide ! Of course, who can come to Pennan without visiting that phone box which even today bristles with countless international calls in many languages as people come from all over to visit the location of Local Hero.

Crafts and Hobbies

Pennan offers the visitor anything from bird and wildlife watching (including dolphins) to home wool spinning and natural dyeing. The local scenery itself offers wonderful opportunities for the amateur artist. More details will be posted later at Local Crafts but unfortunately this page is not ready yet.
