Perfect escape
A true escape very equipped for slow living, with everything you could possibly need for self catering. The wood burning stove after a long rainy walk was just the perfect welcome, comfortable mezzanine bed, great shower and very clean throughout and every detail well thought through. Relaxed stay, if you’re looking for somewhere very peaceful. Surrounded by beautiful garden and birds.

Excellent weekend away
Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our weekend, it was such a well fitted out and designed space and had everything could need. Would come and stay again if we ever come back to the area.

A Charming Cooshed
We spent a stunning four nights here over the Easter weekend. The Cooshed was well equipped, comfortable and the lovely fireplace ensured it was beautifully warm. The location is perfect for sightseeing in the Highlands and the surrounding areas are exceptionally beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here.
