We had a lovely weekend at Hillcrest cottage, would definitely recommend. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed for our weekend away. The views from the window were stunning and we could have spent all day watching the boats come and go. It was a perfect base to explore the area and we were able to go on lots of nice walks. Having spent a lot of our lives on the Ayrshire coast it was great to see a different perspective on the islands we know so well.
