Lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable and cosy in the evening.
Lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable and cosy in the evening. We were a family of four adults and had plenty of room. The cottage is located in a lovely area with more places of interest than we could possibly see in a week. We have visited Scotland many times before but had never visited this area so we were very surprised and delighted by what we found.

What a charming cottage in a wonderful location.
What a charming cottage in a wonderful location. We had two weeks and the weather for September was in the main warm and sunny.
The silence was almost palpable.
We will certainly be back.
