"We love the peacefulness and beauty of the cottage and surroundings. We put bird food out on the nearby bird table and see a plethora of birds including the local woodpecker. We see the local seals, red kites and ospreys during the early summer months. We revel in the countryside and thank the estate for being able to rent the cottage on a regular basis which we will do for years to come."

 "I have now stayed at Cottages from Country Cottages over the past 8 years. Everyone of them have been fantastic. These two cottages imparticular were amazing due to the outlook and location. Wake up in the morning to colonies of seals on the sand banks and Osprey fishing from Munlochy Bay. It is very secluded but I find that tremendous."

"Beautiful location, lovely cottage, quiet and peaceful but only 10-15 minutes from main road (down farm tracks, with a few potholes, okay if you use caution). Would certainly visit again."

"This cottage is lovely and its in the most amazing location - If you want peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It's very spacious and well-equipped, the bed was comfortable and the shower had some power. The host was very helpful and responded to communications quickly and clearly. Avoch not too far away - perhaps 2.5 miles to walk on quiet roads and there were a few take-aways available and a pretty good little shop. One of the best things was watching the visiting seals when the tide went out in the bay and the resident Osprey. We would certainly return."
