A lovely little cottage. Very comfortable and well equipped. Set in a nice little village with easy access to roads for sightseeing. Nice garden for our dog and plenty of walks nearby. Cairn hotel just round the corner for food and drinks also very friendly. Convenience shop 2mins away at end of road. The 2wonen in adjoining cottage really friendly and full of suggestions as to where to go. All in all, a great week. Would highly recommend this cottage.
