It has floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors at the southern end which lead out onto the balcony where there is a small table and chairs for you to enjoy your morning coffee.

Jul 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The best VRBO property we have used in the UK My wife & I stayed here for a week in June/July with plans to walk in the neighbouring countryside. The property was in immaculate condition and had everything we needed (including a hot-tub). It is indeed, an amazing construction (insulated with straw-bales) and gave us perfect privacy. The host was very welcoming and was on hand if we needed anything else. Top marks to him. He also had left details of over a dozen walks, with laminated instructions and maps. Just what we needed. This area of Scotland is off the beaten track and is well-worth visiting. We only lost one day to weather, but staying in the property made this a pleasure. ##### Mike M.
