Lovely base for exploring the surrounding area. Walks and running routes straight from the door. Cottage quaint and cosy with everything you need for a self catering stay. Host friendly and available if required.

Isolation within reach of everything you would want or need
Lovely gate house within the grounds gardens and forests of a Scottish estate, beautiful view and walk's both on and off the estate. Pubs and restaurants within easy reach, all we could have wanted and needed, would love to go back.
