Sep 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Eildon cottage The cottage was easy to find along a very narrow single-track lane. The setting was lovely with splendid views. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We are familiar with the area so did not need any further information but I am sure it would have been forthcoming if required. A very welcome few days during a busy trip. ##### Judith W.
