We love it here having now been back for our third stay. Quiet and relaxing with good local walks and lots to do in the surrounding areas.

The apartment is clean and spacious with everything you could need for a comfortable break. The location is both peaceful and remote but only short drive to the A9. If your wanting a base to explore this is a perfect location and if your wanting somewhere to sit and relax it's a perfect location. We were greeted by Gemma who provided a warm welcome. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful cottages. We stayed in the larger cottage and really enjoyed our stay. So beautifully peaceful with fantastic views and wildlife that appears and disappears.
Cottage was stunningly clean and comfortable. We are going to book again for next year.
