May 5, 2025 #### Marks Review Had a fantastic time staying in Crossing Cottage in Brora. It met all our expectations and more. The house was well presented, well equipped, with comfortable beds and warm. Exceptional value for money and immaculately presented. I prefer this type of accommodation to staying in hotels these days, having the freedom to come and go as I please. ##### Mark W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben Nov 5, 2024 #### Crossing Cottage, Brora Beautiful home with ample space for a small family, or four adults. The rooms are spacious and clean and nicely furnished. We thought the space seemed even bigger than was apparent in the pictures. There are two good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds, a large living room and a separate dining room. The kitchen is adequately equipped with everything you need for a holiday. There is a large garden at the back which is really nicely kept. The place is within 5 minutes of the village centre and the beachfront on foot. We would definitely return if visiting again. ##### Ben ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona M. Aug 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A beautiful cottage in a wonderful location. Feels really homely, really quiet with the occasional train going past. We had a fabulous holiday and would definitely go back ##### Fiona M.
