The cottage was really well equipped, always happy to find a cafetiere and a teapot! The freezer and slimline dishwasher were great to have too. After a tall willow was taken down by a storm, the views of the loch were beautiful!! We stayed for two weeks and were given fresh towels and linens after one week, there is a laundry room with washer and tumble dryer, free to use. We had a fantastic stay and loved the area.

Excellent property - super location!
Fabulous week away in a fantastic part of the country. Very quiet and peaceful and yet plenty to do for our family nearby. Otters, seals, porpoise and whales all spotted in the loch whilst paddleboarding and dog walking and amazing views from the decking all day round. Bliss

Safety issues needing to be reviewed
A lot of health and safety issues need to be addressed the main being we reported the patio door would not open it was not fixed leaving us with no exit if there was a fire in the kitchen or hall.We were asked to strip the bedding on leaving which would not have been a problem except the mattress in 3 of them were badly stained leaving us horrified at what we had been sleeping on I have a photo of 2 mattresses in question also we found an empty juice bottle under the bed not belonging to us
