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.
