We booked to stay for a week, hoping that family could join us, but sadly that was not to be.
We booked to stay for a week, hoping that family could join us, but sadly that was not to be. So just me and him!! The cottage is very isolated- down a long rough track, but once there there are sheep aplenty, pigs, chickens, horses and hares to keep you company!! Oh and duck and bees, plus a barn owl sighting (if you are lucky). It is an idyllic situation but a trip to get milk is a 40 min round trip.My advice is to come well stocked, the kitchen is well appointed and there is a freezer. In good weather take advantage of the bar-b-q, in colder times snuggle by the log burner with a red wine (we did, and it was JUNE). There are a few restaurants near by. Gather at Laggen was the better of the two we tried, but the hassle of getting there was not rewarded by the experience.....For those wanting beach and country walks, garden visits and stunning scenery this is a great base. If you like birds, bring binoculars, or go to Threeve castle where helpful volunteers will point out the nesting ospreys.there is no phone signal but excellent wi-fi.
