The property was fantastic and much bigger than it appears in the photos online. It was well placed for a nice quite retreat and base for touring around to see the wonderful scenery and attractions as well of course the North Coast 500. Scotland has the most fanatastic scenery, we would urge anyone, who has never been, to put it on your bucket list, it is to die for.

This is a lovely cottage, tastefully decorated and fairly well stocked. Good bits - log burner, comfy sofas, almost a home from home. Location is fab and you can explore the Beaufort estate. Plenty of storage in the bedroom. Not so good - bed is very hard and i think it's a double rather than king size as advertised. Bathroom needs a bit of TLC. Basic travel hairdryer, does the job but you prob need to take your own. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we'd happily go back ( taking a mattress topper) Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo ##### Susan This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Sep 6, 2020 #### Very rural location that suits me lovely cottage on one level would be suitable for anyone with mobi Very rural location that suits me lovely cottage on one level would be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.Enjoyed a relaxing week.
