Loved it from the moment we arrived. So quiet and peaceful. Traffic is non-existent, a pleasant change from where we live at the moment. The woodland behind the cottage was a bonus when it came to walking our dog at the end of the day. Our host was more than helpful and made our stay a calm and relaxed one. We'd certainly visit Garries Cottage again.
