  • Alvys

    Basic but clean, cosy and comfortable. Ideal if you don't have a car available as it's in town with plenty public transport.

  • Roxana

    Well equipped cottage. Brilliant location. For very tall males using the toilet/shower facilities required some adjustments (feedback from someone 1.9m tall). Perhaps difficult to warn people about this. Hence why I rated a bit lower for comfort.

  • Samantha

    The cottage was beautiful and clean, with everything you could possibly need. Lovely and warm and with stunning views to the Abbey. Gordon the National Trust for Scotland manager was really friendly and welcoming. Lovely stay. Thank you to everyone.
