We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bruce Cottage. It is a beautiful, cosy cottage that is really well equipped. We had everything we needed and more. There were so many lovely finishing touches from the wonderful welcome packages (one for Mollie our dog too) to the well equipped kitchen and living room/bathroom. It was spotless throughout and beautifully decorated. We found the heated 'laundry room' outside a great added bonus. Great for drying doggy towels/walking boots/wet macs etc. All in all we found Bruce Cottage was great value for money and we are so glad we found it on cottages.com. We would highly recommend it.

This cottage was amazing and suited our needs perfectly. We were made to feel so welcome, with the nice touch of a welcome hamper and a special doggie welcome hamper as well. It was the perfect base for us to go exploring this part of scotland, and we loved our time here. Cottage came with all amenities and is very well explained in useful welcome pack. Loved our stay here, and would be happy to return!
