This was a fantastic accommodation to stay in for our week in Scotland. Set in beautiful surroundings and such a peaceful location. The accommodation itself is absolutely immaculate, with everything we needed for our stay. Nothing too much trouble for the owner. We would highly recommend staying here it’s a beautiful home from home with amenities not too far a drive away and very generous, kind owners
