Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, though a few guests mentioned areas for improvement such as a deep clean and attention to details like cracked plates and dirty pans. These isolated comments suggest that while generally clean, there is room for enhancement.
The location is highly praised for its central position, stunning views, and easy access to outdoor activities. It is described as quiet and scenic, despite some comments about a busy road and initial difficulties in finding the property.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with a warm reception and adequate heating. However, some guests noted issues with noise from water pipes, lack of blinds for skylights, and the need for better quality seating, which slightly detracts from the overall comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped for a getaway, but guests have suggested improvements such as the addition of an oven, clearer signage, and better instructions for local amenities. The lack of Wi-Fi and mobile signal is noted, though this may be a positive for those seeking to disconnect.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The views and surrounding countryside are stunning. Went for a walking/hiking holiday and enjoyed every minute (even with a few downpours!). The cottage is snug and tidy, double-bed is good and comfortable. No wif-fi or phone signal but that's what we wanted. The best place to relax.

On the northbound A9 take the Dalwhinne Distillery turning, stay on the road and after 5 miles you will pass the cottage. Simples Also, the image of the cottage provided showed the rear of the building never to be seen from the road. A roadside image would be an advantage. All in all a very pleasant experience and highly recommended.
