    This is a wonderful rental and location. The east coast of Scotland is very nice, and there are no midges in June!! The cottage is located in a wonderful location with a short walk to a small waterfall. The cottage is very comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed.

    This property is located in a beautiful countryside setting. The home has huge windows that allow you to take in all of the amazing surroundings. So peaceful at night with just the occasional sheep bleating. The birds wake you in the morning. Plenty of room to gather in. The only problem is that the seating furniture and all of the linens need to be updated. Otherwise I would give it a 5.

    We stayed 6 nights at Polgarrie house. Very secluded with beautiful sunsets and moonrises. Lovely views from inside and outside. Such a great addition with the panoramic window views in the living room. Great walk from the house to the fields behind with sheep and the ruins of a house. Definitely recommend.

    This house is amazing. Travel up the narrow lane and leave your cares behind. Don’t forget to close the gate! We loved our stay here. The house was well stocked with all the necessities. It was clean and surprisingly modern for such a remote spot. Easy access to Inverness, Cullodan, Loch Ness, the northern coast, and so much more. We would definitely stay here again! We highly recommend it.
