The deep quiet and peaceful views were restorative. Birdsong instead of traffic was delightful.

Long review: perfect hosts, clean cottage, well-maintained garden, quintessentially Scottish location (loch, forest, mountains, waterfalls, wildlife, dark skies). Even though off a stretch of single track road, surprisingly well connected on all sides; itâs like being in the middle of nowhere but somewhere at the same time. Perfect for unwinding and de- stressing- just book!
