The location is stunning and exactly as advertised on the website. The kitchen is well appointed and the wood burner is supplied with a quantity of wood that will last a week, which was appreciated. We arrived at the house at about 18:30 on the Saturday night and were shocked how cold it was. The arrival time is stated from 17:00. There was no heating left on so we had to put the radiators on quite high just to get some heat into the place. We found the windows and doors quite draughty which was frustrating when you are paying to heat the house. We were aware that there was a charge for electricity when we booked the house but were quite surprised that it cost 100 for a week. We only heated the main bedroom and the kitchen/sitting room and used the oven and cooker and dishwasher daily. The ‘snug’ was cold and with it being away from the wood burner we only used the TV in there once as we didn’t want to heat another room.The lounge and kitchen were very homely but I felt the upstairs was very sparsely decorated.We have stayed in many cottages in Scotland and this had one of the best locations but I think because of the reasons mentioned above I wouldn’t choose to stay again.

Property was lovely in a beautiful area of the world. Stunning location and views you will never forget.However, unfortunately our dealings with the owner post-holiday have not been pleasant. We have been accused of either losing, damaging or disposing of a singular cushion which they have felt compelled to try and charge us for. We have raised a dispute with VRBO over this. She has changed mind between missing and damage in her messages which is a little suspect.Owner's cleaner also let themselves in to do gardening when we were out and owner also showed up unannounced during the holiday. Thankfully dogs were inside but had they been out there would've been little opportunity to secure them.Bring your own kitchen roll, extra toilet paper and I would also advise your own towels as you are given one rather tired and small towel apiece.Also beware extra charges in small-print when booking- electric is charged per unit used. And if you are taking your dogs, don't let them brush against furniture or malt as thats inviting additional cleaning charges.I am afraid I have to leave two stars- as beautiful and stunning as the location is, the experiences with the owner have soured the experience and memories.
