    The garden is nicely done. There is a lot of space inside the room and outside. Bed is really really comfy and not excessively soft like some hotels. The breakfast is simple but it does the job.

    The owner was so lovely, she took her time to show us her beautiful highlands, I would also go back to stay just for the shower. Facilities were all that we required, very quite and comfortable.
