Lochview is a lovely cottage that clearly has a lot of care put into it. It's finished to a high standard, very well maintained, and exceptionally well equipped, especially the kitchen. It felt much more like staying in someone's home than a typical holiday rental. Everything was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable, with lots of thoughtful touches throughout.Kirsten was great to deal with. She provided plenty of clear information ahead of our stay, making arrival really straightforward, and was friendly and helpful in all our communications.We would loved a small outdoor seating area with a table and chairs. The views and surrounding countryside are beautiful, and it would have been lovely to sit outside and enjoy them. That said, there may be reasons why this isn't possible, and it certainly didn't spoil our stay.Overall, a fantastic cottage that deserves its excellent reputation!If you do book a stay - don't miss some of the local gems: sunset at Neist Point, the craft fair at Glendale Community Hall, the nearby Cake Fridge, and the local shop, which is an absolute maze of goodies! 😊 We loved it!
