Beautiful!

Very relaxing stay! It was nice having two bathrooms, too. Note that they are both upstairs in the cottage. Not a problem for us, though. Place was cozy and comfortable. The pub next door closes early so patrons and any noise coming from there ceases early. Bed was comfy, too.

Lovely place but no water in the morning. Thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Fiddich Inn untilll the morning when there was not a drop of water available.The toilet wouldn’t flush, no shower , washing up or cleaning teeth.These things happen and are acceptable as part of life.What is not acceptable is when you try to contact the host by email, phone and through the APP and 24 hours later still do not have a response.

Don’t buy their “experiences”

The stay was as described in the listing. Communication was initially good with the host when I booked months out. Was sent a message offering additional services for whiskey tastings, breakfast hampers etc. We pre-paid for a “Continental Breakfast” which we were told would be in the unit when we arrived. It was not, just a small opened milk in the fridge and 2 Guinness…likely leftover from the previous guest. Reached out to the hosts and still haven’t heard back. What was supposed to be a convenient offering turned into a scam.
