"Lovely cabin in a wonderful tucked away corner of Scotland. The cabin is well-equipped with everything you need. There is even a bar and small village shop nearby. We had lovely weather and enjoyed the spacious outside deck. In poor weather conditions, when staying inside, the cabin may feel a bit cramped, it is a cabin after all. For our party though, it was perfect. Communication with the host was absolutely excellent. Would visit again."
