Highland escape

Well located house with lots of outdoor space and beautiful views. Roland was an easily contactable host who made us feel very welcome. Fantastic base for exploring nearby countryside and villages - but also a comfy and relaxing place to spend time and unwind. We particularly enjoyed games in the garden and trying the pizza oven! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A comfortable haven from the busy world.

Its a lovely, well-equipped, quiet get away. We totally relaxed, ate well, slept well, and recharged our flagging batteries. Managed to master the pizza oven eventually which of was lots of fun and a great family activity in itself!

Loved this property

The house is in a beautiful, quiet location but with easy access to a number of amenities and to plenty of local attractions. The huge garden is a fantastic, safe space for kids and adults to explore and play. The house was perfect for our party of 7 with lots of space and is extremely well equipped. We loved the huge kitchen/diner and the lovely conservatory. This is one of the best properties we have stayed in.

Fantastic Highland Retreat

Spacious property with lovely gardens and surrounding area. Exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed - a home away from home. Would highly recommend and hope to return in the near future.
