Summary: Mark and Alison are great hosts. They go above and beyond to make your stay is very welcoming, peaceful and comfortable. This was my second stay at their cottage. It's the perfect getaway to do some soul searching. Hiking, walks, travelling to other costal towns were they are easy to get to from the cottage by car. There's also a bus stop on the main road if like me, you don't drive. Suitable for loan travellers. A romantic break or go with a friend. Their cottage has everything you need for a home from home. Having the log burner adds to the atmospheric surroundings of the beautiful Scottish countryside. I highly recommend their beautiful cottage. Thank you for your hospitality. Self catering at your leisure. Thank you
