Very nice!

The home is beautiful. The surrounding property is gorgeous! The house has more than enough room for many people without feeling crowed. The range is a dream. The hosts are wonderful and quick to respond! A couple slight drawbacks. I am sure it is listed somewhere but I missed it. The need to replenish all you use. I am not use to that. When we arrived, we needed to buy soap for both bathrooms and kitchen sink. Toilet paper was very limited as were the paper towels. The store is close so replacing was easy - just unexpected. All other vrbo places we have stayed in (and that is many) are fully stocked. The host did bring over garbage bags since we could not find any. Loved our stay in Scotland!

Magnifique cottage

Alors que nos bagages avaient été perdus, le cottage nous a permis néanmoins de passer un formidable séjour et de profiter de nos vacances. Il est très confortable, très très bien équipé (incroyable cuisine) et on se sent très vite comme chez soi. Le cottage est encore mieux que sur les photos et la véranda est un vrai plus ! Le jardin est magnifique ainsi que la vue depuis le 1er étage. C’est très calme et reposant. Nous avons bien pu profiter des environs et avons fait beaucoup d’excursions très variées. Nous n’avons pas rencontré les propriétaires mais la communication a été excellente et le cadeau d’arrivée très apprécié par toute la famille. Merci pour tout! Catherine et Benoît

Wunderschönes Haus in angenehmer Lage

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem Haus, das keine Wünsche offen ließ. Sehr sauber, tolle Ausstattung, es war alles vorhanden, was wir brauchten. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war reibungslos und sehr freundlich. Besonders schön zum entspannen war der Wintergarten. Die Umgebung war sehr schön, ruhig und es bot viele Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Highland escape

Well located house with lots of outdoor space and beautiful views. Roland was an easily contactable host who made us feel very welcome. Fantastic base for exploring nearby countryside and villages - but also a comfy and relaxing place to spend time and unwind. We particularly enjoyed games in the garden and trying the pizza oven! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A comfortable haven from the busy world.

Its a lovely, well-equipped, quiet get away. We totally relaxed, ate well, slept well, and recharged our flagging batteries. Managed to master the pizza oven eventually which of was lots of fun and a great family activity in itself!
