Inspired by the old farm bothy that stood on this site, the cottage has been lovingly created using stone from the original building with some of the wood also retained and used for features such as sills and shelves, adding to its charm throughout.

The shower room with WC has been tastefully decorated and has fantastic high ceilings just like the other rooms at the cottage. Outside, there are various seating areas surrounding the bothy that enable you to make the most of the sun throughout the course of the day. The garden itself is lawned and extensive in size and opens out onto wildflower areas with fields beyond. There is a gas BBQ for evenings if you wish to dine alfresco whilst watching the sunset, and parking on the driveway for two cars. Need to know: 1 bedroom super king size. 1 shower room with WC.
