All that we expected at the property with a few extra nice touches..some provisions including eggs milk bread and basket of firewood.. We were on motorbikes where the drive up and down from the property provided a challenge given its construction of loose natural rock but we managed without incident even on the last day when it was raining. Friendly host keen to help with any queries.

An excellent, well equipped, warm cottage on a farm in beautiful countryside. Very near the picturesque village of Alford and near many National Trust for Scotland and Historic Environment Scotland properties.

It was a revelation, how such a place could worm its way into your heart. Could it be because the beds were so comfy? And it was dog friendly too.
