Our 2nd visit to Riverview, and just as enjoyable. Really well equipped, very comfortable bed, and fabulous views over the moor. Deer passing every morning, but still haven't seen the pine marten, we'll have to go back. Hosts are excellent, there if you need them, and the wine and cake on arrival were very welcome. A really good base for that part of Scotland.
