Spotlessly clean throughout, maximum comfort and just a beautiful place to unwind. I have to say though, the photos do not do this place justice at all, I mean on the photos the place looks great and it was just what I was looking for but to get there and see all the little touches around the place to make it feel like home from home was so lovely and welcoming. The cottage has more than enough information about the surrounding area from where to get food to amazing things to do and see. You might struggle to leave this place to do anything though because it has everything you need and more. The hot tub was spotless and just perfect. We got the chance to meet one of the owners, Caroline, who we had a lovely chat with and found out about a good walk to do and a lovely place for a bacon roll. There was nothing I could fault about this piece of heaven. Everything was as described and much much more!! I would highly recommend Grant Cottage to anyone and everyone and I really hope I can make it back someday. The village the cottage is in is one of the friendliest places in Scotland. Everyone we met was lovely. I canât thank Adrian and Caroline enough for the 4 days of perfection we had and for making the place so beautiful and inviting. I really didnât want to leave.

First impressions count. However the inside was clean, very well equipped. Comfortable bed & well set up for families. Plenty of hot water. It was very nice. Great area, very peaceful. Just a suggestion to take away flower tubs if they are not going to be maintained, including a tidy of the fire pit area. The hot tub could do with being under a canopy so that it can be used when itâs bad weather, oh & please take down the rusty lanterns, not a good look. Saying that we have had a wonderful stay
