The property was just as advertised. It was charming, warm, quite, and secluded. The hosts Alex and Bart reached out in advance and communicated well to ensure everything went smooth. Looking forward to visiting again.

In Transit stopover
What a wonderful hidden gem. We stayed travelling back from the Western Isles and wished we had booked longer.
Checkin was easy - property immaculate - sorry we had to leave

Exceeding our expectations.
Deze cottage overtrof volledig onze hoge verwachtingen. Prachtige plek, ruim opgezet, STIL , schoon, vriendelijk-hartelijk ontvangst en schitterend uitzicht. Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor het ontdekken vd Schotse Hooglanden. Komen hier zeker nog keer terug, inclusief onze honden. ** This cottage realy exceeded all our high expectations! A Beautifull place, spacious, clean, with all comforts to feel 'at home' instantly including a warm welcome by the owners. A perfect fall out to explore the beautifull Scottish Highlands. We'll definately come back to this place, including our two dogs (Leonberger's).
