Esox Cottage is a very special holiday home for the whole family. Spotlessly clean and welcoming from the moment you step through the door. Everything speaks of exceptional quality and is finished to a very high standard throughout. It feels luxurious whilst being very homely. All of the details, such as the wonderful welcome pack with a thoughtful addition of a bag of treats for our little dog to the fabulously scented products for use in all of the bathrooms, all helped make us feel special and pampered during our stay. The teenagers in our party were delighted to have the use of the pool table, dart board, PS5 and board games. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax. The location is idyllic and our favourite spot was the sheltered upstairs balcony where we could enjoy the everchanging view complete with the field of Highland cows to watch whatever the weather conditions. We cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you.

The perfect home away from home. You couldn't ask for more. Tranquil location and everything you need, especially in bad weather (not that we had any). Something to keep all ages entertained from the hot tub, games room, large tv, massage chairs, the list goes on. Very helpful hosts before, during and after your stay. We would definately recommend this place.
