Lovely cottage and garden. The back garden being completely enclosed means you can leave French doors open and allow dog to go outside without having to worry about it getting onto road. The spiral staircase would definitely be an issue for someone with mobility problems.

Family of three, with a 7 year old stayed in the Dalbeathie Cottage May 2026. The hosts were fabulous, the area outstanding for beauty and the cottage was immaculately kept and fully loaded with everything you needed. The washing facilities and the glorious weather meant we came home with no washing to do!Would fully recommend a stay at Dalbeathie Cottage.
