Fantastic cabin, in a beautiful part of the Highlands. We felt, comfortable, warm and at home during our stay. Hot tub was well received, particularly great when sky is clear at night or when snowing. Surrounding landscape beautiful, it snowed 3 days straight and added to the experience. Would definitely go again. Thank you to the hosts.
