Wunderschönes, gemütliches und sauberes Cottage mit einer herrlichen Aussicht über das Oykeltal. Gut ausgestattet und warm. Nachbar und Ansprechpartner Charlie von nebenan war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, gut zu erreichen und gab viele nützliche Tipps für die Umgebung.

The cottage was spacious and well equipped and the host was really helpful.

It was everything that the brochure said it was.

This is a decent sized holiday cottage occupying an elevated position above Strathoykel. Unfortunately, the pictures on the website did not really convey the view we were likely to have and had the owners not recently cleared some trees there would have been no views at all. The is accessed by a steep drive and is spacious and well-heated. There were some odd things about it though - a freezer half full of frozen venison was an unwelcome sight for vegetarians (was it for our use or just being stored there? How long had it been there? It wasn't clear). There were quite a lot of cobwebs over the high levels of the sitting room and almost all the pictures were not level. There were just three teaspoons, the dishwasher trays kept falling out and the property was odd for having four single beds (the last of which we knew about but it did seem strange in context). However, there were plenty of things to keep us occupied if we were rained off and the weather was decent enough to keep us out and about. The location is excellent if you want the choice of going north, south east or west in the far north - something of a boon if the weather is patchy in one area as can just go to another area. So good enough, but not the best cottage we've stayed in.

One issue to be aware of is that access is by a Bailey Bridge across the Oykel. Heavy showers meant the valley flooded requiring a 12 mile detour to get anywhere.
