We slept so well every night! We enjoyed relaxing in the private garden on sunny days. Stuart and Xia are fantastic hosts. The check-in couldn’t have been easier and they are nearby if you need anything. It felt like we were visiting old friends even though we had only just met. The location allowed for easy travel to all the places we wanted to visit in the Highlands, and having a parking spot for our car was a huge plus for us. ##### Tuesday & Jeremy S.
