There is no off road parking as stated nb parking on pavements is illegal in Scotland. Bed isn't 5ft but twin beds very comfy. Well placed to see a clattering of jackdaws overhead around 10pm - an amazing sight.

The area is surrounded by public footpaths which offer lovely walks. The property is very clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable, and is in a very quiet area. The property has a spacious bathroom with a very comfortable bed and we would stay again.
