We had a fantastic short break at Muirston.
We had a fantastic short break at Muirston. The cottage was lovely and really big and it was well equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub was great and the views from every window in the cottage is absolutely stunning! The owners left us a elxokr hamper which was a nice touch. We will definitely return.
