The Byre was a very comfortable, clean, well-equipped cottage, in a very quiet setting, with amazing views. We made use of the seating in the garden as the weather was lovely and it really is a very tranquil spot. We found it a good location to visit the local attractions. The welcome pack we received was lovely and appreciated too.
