Great

The property was just as advertised. It was charming, warm, quite, and secluded. The hosts Alex and Bart reached out in advance and communicated well to ensure everything went smooth. Looking forward to visiting again.

Thistle cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cottage was quintessential Scottish and beautiful. Beds very comfortable. Only suggestion would be to have a coffee maker for those of us who would like a pot of coffee and didn’t have a dryer. Fortunately we were able to dry clothes in the glorious sunshine while we were in the Highlands. Strathpeffer was a lovely place to visit. Drove to Ullapool for the day, great day trip. Overall, highly recommend this beautiful spot!
