The cottage was easy to find, following excellent directions from the owner.The owner was very helpful in explaining the heating arrangements and the cottage was very cosy; we didn’t need to light the log burner.There was a fantastic view of Ben Mohr from the decking at the rear of the cottage and a lovely walk down to Loch Eck. It was amusing to watch the spring lambs in the field behind the property.
