The accommodation and the host are excellent. Neil could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The cottage was very clean, exceptionally well equipped and was light and airy.For the more mature visitors the double bed might be a bit on the low side (I’m way past “mature”) but more agile visitors would not have a problem.A great place to rest and unwind.

This is a well set out cottage, fully fitted out with all items you would require for short and long stay. All on one level, modern but retains its charm. Featuring a a lovely wood burner for cosy nights. Very peaceful situated and the host Mr & Mrs Dewar (Margaret & Neil) very attentive on hand if needed. You will not be disappointed if you choose the cottage for your stay.

Owner and accommodation very good. Everything just as photos show, which is rare!! The farm track approach needs some basic work to fill in the potholes.
