5/5 stars – A cherished week in the Highlands with our dogsWe spent a wonderful week at Milton Cottage in Rosehall with our three dogs, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The cottage itself is lovely – cosy, well-equipped, and full of character. Our favourite memory is sitting by the open fire in the evenings, with the dogs curled up beside us – pure bliss after days exploring the stunning Highlands.The welcome was genuinely warm, and the hosts clearly paid great attention to detail. They thought of our needs (including the dogs) and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.Highly recommend this peaceful spot for anyone wanting a relaxing, dog-friendly escape in authentic Highland scenery. We’ll definitely be back!Thank you for a memorable stay.

overall it was a lovely area the kitchen was well equipped however the cottage could do with a deep clean and some maintenance, the welcome basket was a lovely thought however the brie that we had received was gone off well before its best before date which wasn’t very nice, needs updating in many areas.
