Cottage was clean, comfortable & well equipped. The owners were lovely & couldn't have done more to make us feel at home.The location is beautiful & very peaceful with an added bonus of the animals on the farm. Ideal base for travelling around that area of Scotland. The only drawback of the whole holiday was the very changeable weather but that cannot be helped
