Perfect home from home

Such a cozy cottage, spotlessly clean, comfy beds and has a really homely feel, it felt like every little detail had been thought of. The kitchen also had all the equipment we needed to enjoy some home cooked food. Great location for exploring the National Park and within walking distance of places to eat out Great communication from the host too.

This was our third trip to Scotland, our first to this area and we loved it. We will be back.The property itself is excellent, even better than the photos. It’s large, comfortable, well laid out and equipped, spotlessly clean and in an amazing location. I would highly recommend this property and the owner, whose communication was timely and clear. Thank you!

Excellent cottage

The cottage was so cosy and warm. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Very well presented throughout. In a very good location and very peaceful. Excellent outside lighting so very safe. Lovely big wet room and very comfy bed. Decorated for Christmas which was lovely. Great parking too. Would definitely recommend.

Summer Holiday

Fantastic stay in in a well appointed and positioned bungalow right on the Deshar Woods. The garden was well enclosed and we regularly seen red squirrels and deer in and around. Andy was friendly and approachable and everything we could need was available in the house. We would love to come back soon and would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves walking, cycling and relaxing in a beautiful part of the world.

The house is very comfortable. The owners have been very thoughtful in what they have provided. There's a particularly well equipped kitchen if you want to cook, but also an excellent restaurant a few doors down, and a coffee shop across the road. No need for a Tesco order - the local PO had everything we needed - especially impressed by their fresh fruit and veg. It was lovely having direct access to the woods from the garden. We filled the bird feeders and they were a source of entertainment all day long. If you have a family member with mobility problems, this house is ideal - ramp, wet room etc etc. Highly recommended.

The cottage was well laid out and furnished, with comfortable beds and two sitting areas. The sun lounge was a lovely warm area to sit and enjoy the garden and woods at the rear of the cottage. We were very impressed with the exceptional quality of the fixtures, fittings and kitchen equipment. There’s a nice spacious new bathroom, great for anyone with mobility issues. Andy was very easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome. We loved the Boat of Garten village. There’s great walks through the woods directly behind the cottage. There’s a couple of nice restaurants a short walk away and a lovely cafe just opposite. The post office is well stocked with groceries. Overall this was the best self catering accommodation I’ve stayed in.
