Best cottage we have ever stayed in! Clean, comfortable and lots of space for our grandchildren to meet their Easter Ross family! Excellent base and so lovely to return to, when out for the day! Hosts are so welcoming - delicious cake provided on arrival and the kitchen is so well equipped! The hosts allowed us early access - as we left early to avoid Storm Dave! Thank you.

Absolutely Wonderful Place and Owner!

Christel was a wonderful host. The cottage was so pretty and Christel provided games, books and movies to occupy those rainy days or evenings. The cottage is just a block or so from the market and the beach. There are plenty of historical places to visit and great hiking in the area. I highly recommend this as a get away in the Highlands.

Beautiful holiday cottage

Lovely cottage on a side street. Warm and welcoming owner who met us at the property. Everything you could possibly need in the house. House is clean, cosy and comfortable, its a home from home. Its in a small village on the coast with a beautiful sandy beach just 10 minute walk away. Very quiet village, great base for visiting other places in the area.
