"The cottage was in a stunning location and well presented. The owner resolved the issue of the blocked shower as quickly as they could but it is a shame that the shower drains are not checked more frequently as it was really was very dirty. It meant that for half our holiday we had to share one shower not what we had paid for. Our other issue were the beds in the bedroom above the kitchen and downstairs bedroom the mattresses were so soft you felt you were going to fall out of them so my husband and I slept in separate beds thank goodness the other upstairs bedroom was ok for my brother and wife - we did not like to complain as we had already had to complain about the shower however we noted in the visitor book that several other visitors had mentioned the uncomfortable beds previously. A new DVD player arrived early in the week to replace the broken one that other guests had mentioned previously - the owners do their best to resolve issue as soon as they can. Other than that the property is lovely with excellent views across they Kyle - the Craggan hotel up the road did excellent food and were really friendly. We would visit the area again."

"The cottage had everything we needed for our weeks stay, even 2 pints of milk. The kitchen has every utensil you'll ever need (although I needed the Pyrex bowl for my cereal). The owner had very handy post it notes around the cottage. The big leather couch and chairs were very comfortable to unwind on. There was a handy note about the midges as well (yes they can get very irritating) urging us to keep the doors and windows closed. We picked up shopping from Tesco in Thurso before our arrival and topped up what we needed from the local store which had more products than we thought it would. The nearest Spar and petrol garage is in Tongue.The one and only downside was the wifi not working. The phone line had no dial tone either. If we had kids that couldn't use iPads etc it would have been a long week. Be aware of your mobile phone coverage before you visit Sutherland, some are better than others. All in all we would stay and visit the area again. We also ended up driving 1900 miles that week to make sure we visited as many tourist places as we could."

"Doles Cottage was clean and tidy, and very comfy. It suited us perfectly for the week, having the dogs with us. There were lots of nice thoughtful touches - dog towels, sewing kit, spare toothbrushes and cake and milk upon arrival. However as the week progressed, we found a few things that needed a little attention - a leak in the bathroom, remote controls that needed new batteries, the dvd player didn't work. The main problem for us was not having any wi-fi. This cottage is in a beautiful little village, that we fell in love with it. For a quiet week away, it's truly heaven. For a family with kids wanting wi-fi, it could be a nightmare! I would definitely recommend staying here. Its about 20 mins drive from Thurso, just make sure you can live without the wi-fi!!"

"The location of the cottage was spectacular, however there are a number of issues that need to be brought to the owners attention as the cottage felt very "tired":- Very poor WiFi Insufficient casual seating in the lounge area for the potential number of occupants at the cottage Insufficient cutlery for the number of occupants at the cottage Inadequate cooking utensils for the number of occupants at the cottage Insufficient glasses at the cottage The hob was extremely temperamental and difficult to use The mattress on the bed above the kitchen needs replacing Leakage marks visible on the kitchen ceiling Kitchen cupboard door hanging off Poor quality / thin towels for guests to use Intermittent TV reception DVD player did not work properly"
