Remote heating control was a bit hit and miss! Lounge with tv was very drafty and on our last night the heating was too hot! However the kitchen was perfect and all 5 of us said it was our perfect kitchen. The addition of an old armchair or small sofa in the kitchen would make it perfect plus. We did not lack for anything in the house. It was very spacious and the garden was perfect for the dogs. All amenities close to hand, beaches lovely and loads to do and see nearby. Would thoroughly recommend this house and location.

We had a great time here. The house is big, really comfortabel and was super clean. The kitchen is well equiped.. Although the rent is high, it was absolutely worth it. The beach in Nearn is nice. For hiking we went to Cairngorm national park and River Affric. We also played golf at Strattpeffer Spa Golf Club.
