Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy H. May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thistle cottage We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cottage was quintessential Scottish and beautiful. Beds very comfortable. Only suggestion would be to have a coffee maker for those of us who would like a pot of coffee and didn’t have a dryer. Fortunately we were able to dry clothes in the glorious sunshine while we were in the Highlands. Strathpeffer was a lovely place to visit. Drove to Ullapool for the day, great day trip. Overall, highly recommend this beautiful spot! ##### Amy H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Siying M.
