We had a wonderful weeks stay and the cottage had everything we needed for our families holiday.the garden was secure for our 3yr old cocker spaniel Harvey to also enjoy safely.The cottage was very spacious and comfortable and the owner was on hand if we had any queries.The views of loch carron where fantastic from the cottage and we enjoyed exploring the area. 455 miles from our home but worth every mile.We would love to return in the future. Thanks for letting us visit this amazing cottage.
