Lovely wild location yet easy to drive to other places in Argyle. Beautiful, cosy yet spacious cottage that has everything you could possibly need (including a jacuzzi bath!). Worth it for the home made cake alone

The place was beautiful, the view from our house was amazing. The house itself was great, there was a lot to do in the house, they had puzzles, books etc. The house felt very nice and cozy.
