It had a lot of nice touches, lovely crockery and cookware, very good log-burner. Great selection of books on the Outer Hebrides too.
Very clean and tidy, well presented, and thoughtful gestures too.

Die Badewanne im Schlafzimmer und der Kamin sind sehr schön bei schlechtem Wetter. Kim und Steve sind super Gastgeber. Wir haben 3 Tage gebucht und wären sehr gerne länger geblieben. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr weiterempfehlen. Eigenes Auto ist von Vorteil. read less
