Cottage stay was just what the doctor ordered. Very comfortable, quiet, quaint, and very well appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing tour of Scotland. We took day trips to St Andrew's, Inverness, Edinburgh, using the convenient bus and train so, which were accessible nearby. We highly recommend it.
