The Cherry Tree cottage is a hidden gem. I don't think the photo's do it justice as it really is a sweet and well thought out place for staying in the Highlands. It is well equipped and had plenty of space for the 4 of us to come together but also have our own space. Two good sized bathrooms, a great kitchen diner, comfy beds and a lovely garden. My only observation that I felt could have been comfier is there are only two small sofas in the lounge which, given it sleeps 7 and has a lovely log burner makes the lounge a little less inviting than it could be. But we all loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. There is so much to see nearby and we had a great trip. Thank you!

The perfect cottage for us (two couples sharing - and a dog). Everything was spotlessly clean with everything required for a great holiday. Highly recommended.
