The location is perfect for stargazing, unfortunately we had a lot of cloud this week but happily repurposed the telescope to watch the huge array of birds that visit the garden. Picture-esque scenes over the loch, the cottage is charming and full of everything you could need. Personally found the water made a fab cuppa and has left my hair feeling beautifully soft.
