Absolutely stunning place with tonnes of character! The views are spectacular and the area is so quiet! Perfect for the relaxing detox we were after. Eddie was so welcoming and really made us feel at home. There was only one problem, the fact that we couldn’t stay there forever. We’ll definitely be back!

“A great place to stay”

Reviewed 29 Aug 2017

A fantastic time exploring this area with lots to see and do. Cottage was fab and well provided. The peat stove even in summer (!) was very welcoming and the oven it fired up was quaint. A well organised small space! And the hot tub was a welcome end to a hard day's walking. The views and tranquility were truly amazing. And Eddie was a lovely host, waiting for us in our very delayed arrival on the first evening.
