The location is celebrated for its beautiful scenery and quietness, despite proximity to a road and railway. It's ideal for walkers and those seeking tranquillity, although one review mentioned noise from the road and an obstructed view.
The cottage is repeatedly described as cosy, comfortable, and warm, with new mattresses and efficient heating. However, a couple of reviews mentioned a less comfortable mattress and a cramped sitting room.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being well-equipped for guests' needs. Some minor criticisms include the lack of Wi-Fi, whiskey glasses, and detailed instructions for appliances.

All the little finishing touches made this cottage perfect in everyway. This is situated in a peaceful location despite the road. We particularly liked all the rabbits waiting to welcome us home in the evening. The location is ideal with plenty to do and see right on your doorstep or to venture further afield and come home to a comfortable cosy cottage. We had a wonderful stay and hope to visit again next year.

A lovely cottage with everything you need. It was in a perfect location. Stunning views. Nice secure garden. A few gaps under some of the wooden fence so be careful with smaller pets or children. The only thing to note is perhaps an updated instruction manual on how to physically switch on the gas for the gas hob. If you are not familiar with gas bottles then it is frustrating as we couldnât use it for a few days. Where to put your rubbish etc would be useful. Happy to do so. Certainly would book again . No internet is not a major issue for us as our phones did work. Thank you Gail and Robert. It was a home from home. Lots of attention to detail inside and a lovely Scottish twist. Our dogs loved it in the garden! Gillian C
