Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt in einem altem hübschen Haus. Das Haus ist sehr individuell und liebevoll gestaltet. Es gibt sehr viel zu gucken, was es allerdings auch etwas eng macht. Der Everhotoven ist gewöhnungsbedürftig.Die Umgebung bietet viele Möglichkeiten, Natur und Städte. Ein sehr schöner Urlaub.

Cozy retreat
We had a lovely time at Ken's and Caroline's small cottage. It was our honeymoon and Ken was kind enough to postpone our stay due to booking difficulties on our part. The Cottage is located in a nice scottish village that has a great restaurant and is all around quite lovely. The cottage itself is very cozy and is well equipped for guest. Especially the kitchen has massive amounts of kitchen ware with which to cook, although the stove is rather unusual (because it's always on). Works well enough though. Also there were a good amounts of cooking ingredients already there which made cooking for only a few days a lot easier and cheaper cause we didn't have to get things like Salt or Pepper in larger amounts. There was fast Wifi and a well equipped TV, a fireplace with wood supplied. Communication was great as well. Instructions always understandable and always fast replies. Two smaller complaints though: the cottage in general is rather dark, even when it's sunny outside. Nothing major and nothing that could be done about it, just a small thing that we per se didn't like as much. Secondly it was always somewhat colder in the cottage because the heat had to be turned on manually and took a while to get warm. So whenever we went out or during the night it cooled considerably. Again nothing major but irked us a bit. Overall a great little place in a very cute but still feeling modern little village.
