While there was plenty that was great about the house—how secluded it is, how we woke every morning to sounds of sheep, how comfortable it is—the only thing that really mattered was the view out of the south window. You can get lost in it. I sat every morning with a cup of coffee and just looked out at the hills. Gorgeous.

Very well placed panoramic cottage for exploring Cairngorms and coast, far away from busy world. We did enjoy very much our 'home' for week - 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and spacious living area. Hosts kindly provided clear and helpful instructions.
