Fantastic holiday and in a lovely remote location allowing to se some of the beautiful Scottish countryside and at night the full night sky of stars (if it’s a clear night) the housing itself was beautiful and had everything one could ask for. Very much enjoyed having some lovely highland cows nearby too. All in all a great stay.
