As stated above, the cottage was cosy and comfortable for the two of us. We had previously experienced the kind of brackish but harmless water while staying in Ardnamurchan. If you think it would be a challenge then I advise taking plenty of bottled water to allay any concerns.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped for preparing food.
The surrounding grounds of the estate and the babbling Brae immerse you in a truly uplifting environment.
We were pleased to meet our charming hosts and when we decided to take advantage of the wood burning stove, we were delighted to discover the fire already set impressively arranged for an instant blaze.
The location proved ideal for exploring interesting locations within easy reach including lovely beaches, excellent forest walks, castles, Pictish museums, a magnificent lighthouse and great food at Luigi’s in Dornoch. Wonderful stained glass in the cathedral of Dornoch and classy retail therapy if that's your thing.
As relative newcomers to Scotland, we are trying to explore different locations. This is the farthest Nort we have ventured near the East coast and it didn't disappoint

Nothing major but list of minor irritations as mentioned. No welcome from hosts despite them living in attached main house. Waited till Thursday evening to meet them when a letter was trust in our hands to say that electricity would be off from 9am the following morning till late afternoon. No niceties! Cottage was cold and the only radiator that came on was in the downstairs toilet. Notice saying that the programmed temperature was 16-18 degrees. This was not warm enough as the weather was cold in this part of Scotland. Log burner wouldn't start without sticks which were not provided. Filthy baking trays (2) needed binning. Double bed was not a King size as advertised. Information provided was dated 2021 a year out of date and restaurants and shops had gone out of business. Mat under dining table dirty with many marks. Not 100% clean. No hair dryer and water the colour of strong tea! (we know Scottish water can be brown but this was like sitting in a bath of tea and the toilets likewise). Cottage rather on the small size for 4 people.

Good points: generally well equipped in the kitchen. Pleasant outside garden area. Quiet and good location.

Lovely location; but pre-booking information should alert visitors to whistling trains passing nearby level crossing at 6am! No welcome on arrival, though hosts live in adjacent property. Some minor disappointments with cottage: windows not clean, freezer dripping on arrival, fridge door missing shelf, ovens showing signs of heavy use. Compensations include wonderful location, tranquillity (except for trains!), excellent kitchen equipment, plentiful hot water, and heated towel rail.

Loved our week away! Will be back.

The cottage is in a lovely setting and we quite enjoyed our stay despite the issues re access and water. However, had we been a party of four adults we would have found the seating and clothes storage provision inadequate.
