We enjoyed ourselves, it's a bit dated but as 1 of our party pointed out, you weren't afraid to sit down. Well equipped kitchen. Apart from the damage that a pheasant got in and trashed the blinds in the conservatory, it was brilliant.

Lower Brae will appeal to some and not to others.

Lower Brae will appeal to some and not to others. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, well equipped cottage to explore the beautiful area then this is ideal. If slightly dated furnishings and dog hair on the carpet and the oven not having been left clean by the previous residents is a turn off, then this probably isn't the place for you. We loved lighting the fire each evening, the plentiful hot water, the very quiet location and open outlook, and the fact that there was everything you needed and more besides.

The house is big, spacious and warm, with a very comfortable lounge. However it wasnt clean.

Has all the potential for a nice stay, but due to lack of cleaning we decided to move on early. Apparantly the previous occipants had left it a mess, but the owner couldnt sort it out in time. The owner is lovely... he lives next door, and we have stated this problem to him.

Blissfully relaxing!

We booked a Monday to Friday at Lower Brae for a break of rest and relaxation and we got exactly that. Mr MacLeod thank you for accommodating our short notice booking, we had the best time. A breathtakingly beautiful area, very quiet and peaceful. I would describe the area as remote. Theres a long drive of country road to reach Lower Brae so I advise taking supplies with you rather than stocking up after arrival. It's not a road you want to drive in the dark! The cottage was lovely. Very comfortable and cosy. The bedrooms and living room are spacious but warm. There were a few bits I had to clean in the kitchen and bathroom on arrival but it was nothing major and it certainly didn't disrupt our stay. The large garden is fully secure so our 10 year old daughter and young dog were also warmly welcomed and had a great time exploring the garden. The surrounding area is mostly farmland but aslong as dogs are on leads you can walk down to the beautiful River Oykel and also explore the surrounding hills. The area is also a great base for exploring further afield aswell. Although we just enjoyed the immediate space and used the time to fully relax. It really was the most peaceful place I've visited. I really hope we can visit again. Thank you!
