The cottage itself was very comfortable with fantastic views, my wife has MS and even though she canât walk very well the peace and tranquility did her the power of good. The only complaint I have is that we didnât book for two weeks. We will definitely be booking for next year. A special thank you to Adam, Leanne and extended family for their hard work in making the cottages a special place.

We appreciated the thought and detail that the owners had applied to ever aspect of the site. The only item that we would have liked to have had in the kitchen that wasn't there was a pair of scissors. Overall top marks to Highland Holiday Cottages. Jacqui and Pete.
