Stunning house in a stunning location with some of the best Scottish scenery including Heilan Coos and sheep, just perfect!! Everything you could possibly need in the house and it was spotlessly clean! Comfy and cozy too. Nice to sit in the hot tub and look over the countryside. Lesley Ann is brilliant and even left a lovely welcome basket which went down a treat!! Absolutely loved everything about our weekend so we Will be back.
