Summary: beautiful location! had no problems with the train. only comes by a few times a day. location is beautiful
Gail R. Apr 17, 2023 04:26:47 AM
Summary: I loved the remoteness of this wee cottage. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, with lots of lovely walks, then this is ideal. The cottage is powered by a generator, which you can hear but soon get used to. Make sure you bring everything you need, it’s a fair trek to the nearest shop! My dog ran around the forest all day long and slept all night and I chilled out with a glass or two of wine. I hope to visit again in the not too distant future.

Summary: Just perfect for a “get away from it all” break. Lovely cottage, cozy with all we needed. Amazing setting and so peaceful. Our dogs enjoyed the walks in the forest. Would definitely come back again.

Summary: The place is astonishing! The cottage is surrounded by the forrest, perfectly quiet and beautiful. The cottage was clean and we had anything we needed. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. Very much worth 11 hours drive!

Summary: A great place to switch off. You really are in the middle of nowhere. We will be back.

Summary: We spent 3 days, 3 adults & a dog, and this was exactly the peace & quiet we were looking for. Stunning, dramatic landscape, wildlife galore, lochs and beautiful views where ever you look. The cottage is lovely, clean and cosy with everything you need. Being able to watch the deer & birds of prey from the cottage was amazing. Thank you to our host, Teppy, very friendly and helpful. Who met us on route to the cottage and also helped when we went off course while out fishing. Big thank you for that xx We look forward to coming back xxxx

Summary: Arriving at the property, was breathtaking. The long single track road was a pleasure to drive, wildlife galore and plenty of photo opportunities. We were met and shown our cottage, the location is out of this world and the cottage, cosy and wild, had all we needed. Thank you for great communication, and a fantastic adventure, we never laughed as much as we did, driving down the tracks.

Summary: Even though it took us a 12 hours drive to get to the cottage, we would do it all over again in a blink of an eye. We are a family of 4, two adults + two young children + our giant breed dog (found it hard to find a place for him due to his size 😔- this place had no concerns about, size or bread, which was an absolute winner in our case) We had enough room all of us. We were surprised to find the kitchen 's cupboards filled with supplies (emergency supplies), so definitely a bonus if you run out of something, as the nearest shop is about 1 hour away. The cottage has everything you need and it is indeed in the middle of nowhere and you don't see humans 😁The walks and drives are endless. We have found lochs( that were not even on the map) with sandy beachs and shallow water that was warm and the children splashed all day in them. An absolutely amazing experience. Would highly recommend the place (obviously to like minded people as it might not be everybody's cup of tea). Thank you and really hoping to return soon 🤗

Summary: Lovely remote location really peaceful and and quiet with access to beautiful lochs nearby also a pleasant drive to dunnett Bay and John o groats. The staff (Teppy) were friendly and welcoming will definitely book again. Lots of great locations for walking the dogs
