A very beatiful cottage, very spacious and it had everything you need for your holiday. We had some little issues with the electricity, but Wilma, the caretaker, helped us out immediately. She was extremely friendly and helpful. The house was extremely clean and well kept.

Fabulous cottage so clean and well equipped, everything you would require was available in the cottage. There was plenty of room for our party which consisted of Mum, her two daughters and younger grandson. Wonderful location in a peaceful row of cottages…although it just might be a little noisier in school term time but that would not have bothered us at all. The whole area is so beautiful and the cottage was a great area to explore this part of Scotland. If we are to return to this area I’d definitely try to book Riverview cottage and recommend to my friends.
