A fabulous location, very peaceful with stunning views over the loch. Surrounded by wildlife, we watched a steady stream of different birds visit the bird feeders, and we saw an otter swimming in the loch. We took paddle boards and could launch them from the garden, and we were delighted to get an excellent view of the otter while we were on the loch.
