"Lovely place could move into it and be super happy, only downside was although it states dog friendly it's not secure as the fencing around which leads straight onto the sheep fields is easy to get into, also near the hottun they can jump into the road and also under the gate, if this could fixed I would definitely come back again with them, apart from making it more secure and safe for the dog and sheep around it was a lovely place to stay"

"This was a lovely little hut to stay in for a few nights. One double bed and then a pull out sofa bed. We didn't try the sofa bed, but the double was comfortable. The shower was great, and the towels provided were more than adequate. I didnt find the hair dryer until we were ready to leave. Its in a box under the bed. This is more suitable for a couple on their own, i think it would be hard to have young children in the hut. They are not equipped for toddlers. The microwave is at a hight that a...

"we loved this cottage and the facilities fore guests to use. The views are stunning with changing weather conditions., and daily visits from the dear were fabulous. my granddaughters loved that part and played monopoly & hide and seek in the cottage daily. Dornoch Beach is a must visit, as it is stunning and the rock pools were explored thoroughly.

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (19)
"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."

"Eilidh is a lovely host. So nice to see a local young lady caring so much about her village. The accommodation is a fantastic use of space and ideal for our week’s stay. Very warm and comfortable. I recommend this wholeheartedly. We were a couple with a dog. She (the dog) was instantly as ease. Nice enclosed front garden ensured she didn’t wander. Excellent location for a walk down to Brora’s stunning beach."

"Caution when booking. Place is filthy. The owner comes round and warns you of all the things that are broken and how poorly put together everything is. Even that if we used a plug in heater and water heater at same time the place could blow up. This was after an hour and a half of driving up the worst dirt track. Never have I booked somewhere and left to go and find somewhere else but I did this time. Owner knew it wasn't fit for holiday makers since as soon as we opened the door to him he asked...

"Love at first sight is an overused phrase. But for us seeing the cottage in the distance as we drove across the Mound on the A9, it really was. The cottage was perfect in every sense. Cozy, comfortable and set with stunning views all around. The owner has equipped with everything you need to make this a perfect holiday home and the bonus of very comfortable beds at the end of the day. There are so many great walks in the area that coming back to the fantastic hot tub makes it all worth while....
