Had a lovely week at this accommodation. The only slight drawback was the outside space.

The stable offers a place to get away from busy daily living as it is very remote. The surrounding area including the garden had spectacular views and we saw the seals below. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including all kitchen utensils, extra pillows and blankets.The nearest shop was in castle town which was a 15 minute drive. We would return.

Beautiful little warm cosy 1 bed cottage with everything you need. Plenty dishes, crockery, utensils etc. Owners left milk, cakes and tunnocks treats too. Also provided washing up liquid and cloths, dish towels. Washing machine available to use too. Great shower lovely and warm. Bed was huge but 2 beds pushed together with a fitted sheet could feel the join but still cozy and clean. Bear in mind this accommodation is dog friendly, there is a smell but suppose that can't be helped and didnt put us off. Also the sofa is a recliner which was very welcoming after a long day exploring.We would recommend this accommodation for a country escape visiting the sites. Beaches are stunning 😍 We even got to meet King Charles as he was visiting the Highland Games.
