She was very informative of al the local amenities. Instantly made us welcome and comfortable. The cottage was amazing and very well stocked with all the essential items needed. The garden was huge and very spacious for our pooch to explore. The views from the windows were amazing and abundant wildlife all around. We even had deer in the garden. Excellent location for exploring the highlands of Scotland. 20mins drive from Inverness and only an hour to Ullapool. Pleasant villages nearby for high quality local produce. Ideal place to relax. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this cottage. The holiday experience was outstanding due to our lovely host Laura who was on hand to give advice any time we needed.
