Enjoyed our stay at Digger's Cottage. Excellent accommodation with everything provided that you might need. Hosts were charming and available to deal with any queries we might have. The cottage is situated on a farm and it was lovely being able to watch the sheep in the field and the horses in the courtyard. Beautiful part of Scotland to explore.

Excellent. Spotless and comfortable cottage, well equipped and well looked after. Friendly and hospitable hosts, quiet location with good transport links. Would be hard to improve on .
