I could happily live here! Had a great time as always even though the weather wasn't great for the 3 weeks we were away. The track leading up to the cottage is currently having work done on it so hopefully by our next visit it will be easier to access the cottage, that said I have a low car and have never had any problems, I just take it nice and steady. The area is lovely and peaceful and we saw deer, birds and a fox near the cottage. The enclosed garden is massive and our 2 golden retrievers love it. We're counting down the days till we return.

Absolutely stunning cottage, it is the best we have ever stayed in. The peace and quiet is amazing as are the views. Our little granddaughter and two little dogs loved the enclosed garden. Lovely walks from the property and we all felt so relaxed. Just so lovely to come home from a day out and take in the chillaxing views. Highly recommend staying at Allanhead cottage.
