A lovely, well equipped.and clean cottage.in Scotlands highest village. Had everythibg our family needed for our stay. Comfy beds meant a great nights sleep. A few walks to do around the village and only a short stroll to the village pub.
This is a fantastic cottage in an adorable village. It has rolling hills, a burn and lots of sheep! The cottage itself was quite large and was fit for our family of 6, including adult children and their spouses. It was clean, decorated well and rather comfortable. There are amenities within walking distance such as a pub, museum, etc. We wished we had stayed longer and we'll definitely return!
Property was spotless, beds comfortable, Wi-Fi very good, kitchen well equipped, though none of the odds and end like salt and pepper often found in a self catering place so take absolutely everything you need with you.
Perfect wee village- pub excellent with a limited choice of pretty good pub grub and less than a 100yard stagger away!
Lovely walks on the doorstep and beautiful scenery, and sheep.
