A truly superb cottage, probably the best one that I have stayed in. It is extremely spacious and well equipped. It is in an isolated elevated position with far reaching views, yet only a few minutes drive from Lairg with its shop, cafe and fish & chip shop. It is centrally located for the magnificent scenery to the north and west. Highly recommended.
