The only word that comes close to capturing our stay is “magical”. The cottage is comfortably appointed with a traditional and authentic feel. We found everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The wood / peat burning fireplace gave an atmospheric and cozy touch. Location is great if you like to hike and explore. The views are jaw dropping. Recommend 100%
