The croft was fantastic. It is very cosy but also spacious and had everything we needed. It's in a excellent location for exploring the the whole east coast. It also has lots of quiet roads and paths to walk the dogs. You are a few minutes from he A9 but you would think you were miles from it due to the location of the house, with fantastic views of the sea from it's elevated position. We will be back!.
