All the little finishing touches made this cottage perfect in everyway. This is situated in a peaceful location despite the road. We particularly liked all the rabbits waiting to welcome us home in the evening. The location is ideal with plenty to do and see right on your doorstep or to venture further afield and come home to a comfortable cosy cottage. We had a wonderful stay and hope to visit again next year.

A lovely cottage with everything you need. It was in a perfect location. Stunning views. Nice secure garden. A few gaps under some of the wooden fence so be careful with smaller pets or children. The only thing to note is perhaps an updated instruction manual on how to physically switch on the gas for the gas hob. If you are not familiar with gas bottles then it is frustrating as we couldnât use it for a few days. Where to put your rubbish etc would be useful. Happy to do so. Certainly would book again . No internet is not a major issue for us as our phones did work. Thank you Gail and Robert. It was a home from home. Lots of attention to detail inside and a lovely Scottish twist. Our dogs loved it in the garden! Gillian C
