8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Peaceful cottage and a great place as a base to explore the highlands of Scotland.
9 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Ideal location, easy access to great walks with amazing views. Very comfortable with a cozy feel We had a small issue with the drainage but that was dealt with the same day.
The camera on the tree outside looking straight at the windows felt quite invasive. Could be mounted in a better place
9 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
We loved the property. Cosy, clean and well equipped. Peaceful idyllic location. The kids loved the on-site adventure area, which they had all to themselves due to the time of year!
Nothing.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
Quiet location. Comfortable house. Walks from house. Good facilities in house. Very clean. Tasteful interior.
- 4 logs for wood burner are not enough for 2 days in winter; when you pay for a self-catering house you expect a generous yet limited supply of fuel. - Did not receive key code 24hrs ahead of visit, though host responded promptly when advised. - No ice cube trays available. -Too many repeated signs in house, which creates an unwelcoming feel. - Messy covered outdoor seating area with no attempt to brush out dead leaves. It would be nice for the grass area by house to be maintained to enjoy the views/sun. - Shocked to see a camera on a tree monitoring entrance to the house, which is not declared in details; it is extremely unpleasant to know how images are used or if they are kept!
