Absolute gem of a cottage. Clean, cosy and well equipped. Very comfortable beds and sofas. Everything has been thought of.Truly dog friendly. Garden secure and had plenty of room for our two energetic dogs to run around. Generous welcome pack and doggy treats as well! Although beside a road which was busy at times the garden trees and shrubs shield you from any noise. So quiet and secluded it is easy to forget there are two other cottages in the row. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area too. The nearby town of Tain is handy if you need to stock up at major supermarkets. Would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends 🧡
