    While the cottage is cute and has an amazing view, the photos are extremely dated as are some of the amenities. It's not a drive you would want to make in the dark, so go early and add an extra 20-25 minutes to any day trip you would like to take. The house is no longer alone on the hill as neighbors have encroached so if you are looking at that gorgeous photo of the isolated cottage (as I was) it's a disappointment. In addition, there are now 14 VERY steep stairs. It accommodates improved parking, but it would have been nice to know beforehand.I am certain there will be updates to the property and that will make it a five star booking. As it is, if the photos were current, we'd been able to make an informed choice and might have chosen a different location.

    photo's of the listing are not accurate. The large steps on the entrance are replaced by a high steep stair. If I had known this, I would not have booked this place since stairs are an obstacle to me.Tough the property looks good on photo, and the rest of the photo's is correct, the bathroom needs some maintenanceThe cottage has a good heating and comfortable seats, kitchen is well equiped.The bedrooms are spacious and pleasant. But for the main bedroom, a king size or 2 1-persons beds would be al lot more comfortable and the room is large enough. In my opinion the matras is to hard.

    Lovely little spot on top of the hill near the Talisker Distillery. Property was as described and there were plenty of sheep nearby so you'd often hear a random bleat in the moments of silence. Would return!
