We adored the bird feeder right next to the kitchen table, always busy, which is particularly good when the weather is poor. Our hosts were so helpful with advice about where we might find otters, etc & we did, for the first time! The cottage was in a lovely position for the walks that we wanted to do & we fell in love with Arran. Other additional bonuses - the best fridge/freezer ever & properly comfortable sofas! We have already booked to come back next year.
