Nice cottage , small kitchen but laid out really well and had everything you would need. Might be a bit tight in living room for four adults we moved a small sofa from the bedroom to make it more comfortable. In a great location to visit various places

Loved our time here! Location was really nice, a lovely corner of Scotland. Cottage was well stocked and we genuinely couldnt find anything that it was missing. Great place to spend a holiday to just completely relax!

Cottage was cosy and nice and warm, beds were comfortable. Kitchen very small ,well kitted out, not much work space and high cupboards, you need to be at least 6 feet tall to have any chance of reaching anything. Nice to see the highland cattle and feed them apples.
