We much appreciated the birding on site not to forget the pine marten. What we did find both annoying and frustrating was the imposition for every village of 20 mph speed limits which WILL DO THE SCOTTISH TOURIST INDUSTRY NO GOOD WHATSOEVER! In fact, on one occasion, we encountered a speed limit of 10 mph on one stretch of the A9 for which there appeared no justification at all! Finally, it would have been helpful to have had e-mail addresses for the owner and Sykes Holiday Cottages.

Plenty of space and very comfortable. We really enjoyed seeing all the birds in the garden and the cows in the field.
