Nothing but a 5 stars rating. McLeod's cottage was absolutely perfect, very well equipped, a dining room with a wondrous outlook and very comfortable sleeping arrangements. A luxurious accommodation and in a idyllic setting, perfect for families and their dog. The walks right on the doorstep were fabulous. We cannot wait to go back and didn't want to leave! Very much looked after by Katie also, she thought of everything! Book this cottage, you will not be disappointed.
