Everything about the cottage and location was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and used it as a home base to explore more widely in western Scotland. Everything you can possibly need for a vacation stay is provided, right down to a started hamper and breakfast goodies. The communication was excellent and everything was very comfortable.
