We had another lovey trip to the Heron over the New Year break! We have been vocation since 2016. The house is great, it was beautifully decorated for the festive season and a lovely welcome hamper! The views across the loch are incredible and there are l excellent coastal and forest walks right on the doorstep. It really is heaven for dogs! The local pub - the Ardentinny is a five minute walk anway and has a warm welcome and excellent food. The addition of a dishwasher after all these years is the icing on the cake! Thanks so much
