We felt this cottage was definitely let on a commercial level and not a personal level. Simple things like not having any milk left in the fridge especially after arriving there after midnight and not knowing the immediate area well enough to buy milk.

It’s worth knowing the farmhouse is one of a few places to stay on an old working farm & the other properties are in close proximity to this farmhouse. Our party consisted of 5 adults & 1 dog. There is one long gate that closes off all the places to stay from the driveway but this is kept open, & there are wire fences round the whole farm’s boundary lines, but the area directly around each property isn’t closed off so we just kept our dog on a lead for toilet time wandering the whole farm grounds. It’s a lovely farmhouse where all rooms in it were ideal for our needs. Lots of space for our medium-sized dog. The kitchen is ample size for family teas. The range wasn’t in use so not used. The wood burner in the living room was used, was great. Bath/shower & water pressure great. Beds comfy. Central heating worked a charm. Parking space right outside the farmhouse. Just something re the WiFi, we were without it for the first few days as we kept attempting to use the password in the Useful Information book in the farmhouse, but we got in touch with the company & was advised to use the one on the router, the book probably just needs updating. There are some pretty walks in the area near & around the farmhouse. The nearest village is approx 2 miles away. Would recommend the takeaway from the book for nights in. Would come back.

Property was in a lovely location, and ideal for peace and calm and for dogs as it was well away from the main road. Good sized ground floor rooms, especially kitchen, although two of the bedrooms were small (one was tiny).

One of the main reasons I booked this property was because it was described as having a working Rayburn. I have always had either Rayburns or Agas and know how good they are for warming a kitchen and drying wet walking clothes, so I was mightily disappointed to discover it had been disabled. As a result, the hot water system had been changed and there was no airing cupboard (no tank!) so, with the absence of a Rayburn, no way to dry wet clothes.
This also meant that if one had a shower (and you could turn it on and then read a book while it decided to get hot) the water supply was unstable. Therefore, if anyone ran a tap or flushed a loo while someone was showering, the water supply stopped and then ran freezing cold when it re-started. So someone needs to sort this out! It also meant that a bath was impossible, as the water just drips out of the tap.The towels were very small - for those chaps of over 6'3" they seemed like flannels!

The wood stove in the sitting room needs attention. The doors do not close, so the fire rages furiously and a basket of logs disappears within a short time, while the heat goes up the chimney. It is better used as an open fire.

Normally I would not care, but there is no mobile phone reception. I know this is a common problem in Scotland (I used to live on the Isle of Skye, so have suffered this greatly) but it would have been helpful to know this, as I needed to co-ordinate with my brother to collect him at Inverness airport, and, more importantly, had a car problem and needed to contact the local garage. So please let customers know!
Please also tell clients about the state of the track leading to the cottages. I am lucky still to have a sump, and grateful I did not have a low exhaust system.

Having said all this, we had a wonderful time , loved the location and would have stayed longer if we could - although we would have had problems with clothing if there had been constant rain!
