Thistle cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cottage was quintessential Scottish and beautiful. Beds very comfortable. Only suggestion would be to have a coffee maker for those of us who would like a pot of coffee and didn’t have a dryer. Fortunately we were able to dry clothes in the glorious sunshine while we were in the Highlands. Strathpeffer was a lovely place to visit. Drove to Ullapool for the day, great day trip. Overall, highly recommend this beautiful spot!

In Transit stopover
What a wonderful hidden gem. We stayed travelling back from the Western Isles and wished we had booked longer.
Checkin was easy - property immaculate - sorry we had to leave
