"This was a lovely little hut to stay in for a few nights. One double bed and then a pull out sofa bed. We didn't try the sofa bed, but the double was comfortable. The shower was great, and the towels provided were more than adequate. I didnt find the hair dryer until we were ready to leave. Its in a box under the bed. This is more suitable for a couple on their own, i think it would be hard to have young children in the hut. They are not equipped for toddlers. The microwave is at a hight that a...

"Love at first sight is an overused phrase. But for us seeing the cottage in the distance as we drove across the Mound on the A9, it really was. The cottage was perfect in every sense. Cozy, comfortable and set with stunning views all around. The owner has equipped with everything you need to make this a perfect holiday home and the bonus of very comfortable beds at the end of the day. There are so many great walks in the area that coming back to the fantastic hot tub makes it all worth while....

"Eilidh is a lovely host. So nice to see a local young lady caring so much about her village. The accommodation is a fantastic use of space and ideal for our week’s stay. Very warm and comfortable. I recommend this wholeheartedly. We were a couple with a dog. She (the dog) was instantly as ease. Nice enclosed front garden ensured she didn’t wander. Excellent location for a walk down to Brora’s stunning beach."

"The booking from start to finish with Robert was so easy and we really appreciated our early check in as we weren’t coming far. The house was amazing as was the huge effort put in to all the Christmas decorations. This property was fantastic and had everything (and more) we needed to enjoy our stay. The wine and goodies were much appreciated and I will honestly be recommending this beautiful house to others. Thanks so much"

"We stayed in the pines cottage with our dog. I have to say the stay was fabulous, the house has everything you need and more. Very complete, all very well thought out throughout to the minor details and all very clean. The view and gardens are spectacular; love the benches in the gardens to relax, play, have a drink or picnic with the glorious view. The area is quiet and pure. We have done day visits to many places around the highlands but equally have done quite a few local walks, stunning. The...

"Kenleith Cottage was absolutely beautiful! It is much larger than it appears in the pictures. The host provided a basket of basic goods in case we did not have any. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the cottage. Noreen has really done well thinking about the needs of the travelers who will be staying there. Noreen herself is very nice and easy to talk to. We would book again if we come back this way. Loved it!"

We were very happy with how wonderful David and Hanako were with communications and making sure our stay there was the best it could possibly be.
