Lots of wildlife can be viewed directly from the cottage and scenic walks with marked trails are possible from pretty Nethy Bridge village, just 5 minutes drive away. The cottage had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and just made us feel relaxed from the moment we arrived. The owners Malcolm and Sammie were in contact to ensure we had a comfortable stay and were available to assist if we needed them.
Michelle
Property was clean, comfortable to stay in and we liked the fact that you could do some walks from the property itself. The owners were very friendly and offered help if needed. Would definitely recommend.
Sheila
Very comfortable, well equipped and clean. We will happily stay here again.
