  • Steve

    Very dog friendly with superb enclosed garden. Perfect location to explore the area. Owners are super helpful, friendly and approachable for any information you may need. One of the very best cottages we have had the pleasure to stay in.

  • Maureen

    Owners were very welcoming and really helpful throughout our week.

  • Sarah

    An idyllic rural setting but close to main roads and very easy to reach cities and attractions in the area. The cottage itself is lovely, comfortable and well equipped. The garden is brilliant for those with dogs (our greyhound loved it). We were warmly welcomed and really appreciated the welcome pack which was incredibly thoughtful. We simply had an amazing Scottish break.
