Honey Cottage is in a remote location, perfect for peace and quiet, surrounded by beautiful countryside. We got an Asda delivery; they come from Elgin, even in the bad weather and we had everything we needed for the week. The cottage is very comfortable and lived in, heating works a treat with almost boiling water from the taps. A very generous supply of logs for the log burner, much appreciated in those January sub zero temperatures. Only one thing (but not a big deal) we found the towels a bit scratchy, an online order to Asda and we had towels delivered the next morning. Nice secure garden for the dogs. We enjoyed our stay.
