My two dogs and I stay at a lot of cottages all purporting to be of the same standard but all of which vary vastly. Before we even arrived Megan, the owner, sent a friendly email full of useful information and was most tolerant when I had a couple of questions. Cor an Easen is the perfect place to stay, the cottage has everything one needs and the WiFi was impressive for a rural area, faster than mine at home in the middle of nowhere. The garden is sheer perfection for dogs, secure and a mix of lawn for them to sprawl and play on and wilder parts for a good sniffari. Lots of excellent off lead walks in the area, obviously in areas with no livestock, though do be vigilant for ticks, my dogs particularly enjoyed the walk around the little peninsula at the ard neackie lime kilns and castle Varrich - both of which are ideal off lead walks for dogs with good recall. I can recommend the GP practice in Tongue - unfortunately a tick decided to latch itself to me in a spot I couldn’t reach hence being able to recommend the surgery. Being used to rural life I took all that was needed as shops are far and few between and who wants to waste time shopping! A previous renter had left a lot of broken glass in the dishwasher and a cupboard which took some clearing but that was not the fault of the owner. We didn’t need to use the log burner but I can imagine how snug it would be with it in use in colder weather. All in all a perfect, peaceful and relaxing place to stay with an amazing owner. I rarely return to a property but Cor an Easen is definitely one I’d consider going back to. Book it, you’ll love it!!
