A very beautiful cottage, set in an idealic location. The cottage has a big garden which is secure and child friendly, there is also access to a wee burn just a stones throw away. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and the owners have thought on many extras to make stays even more comfortable and welcoming - this includes a very thoughtful welcome package. Further to this we found the owners very helpful and happy to answer any questions we had.
