Excellent family holiday home

The Old Library is a lovely house for a family of upto 6 people. Excellent location including the beautiful beach nearby. Comfortable and clean. It would have been helpful if the washing machine was a washer dryer so that you could dry clothes in wet weather when you couldn’t hang them out. Otherwise there was everything needed for a good family holiday.

Spacieux, Pratique, conforme à l'annonce

Super séjour, the old library nous a ravis... Presque tout parfait : un petite remarque sur de la vaisselle mal lavée à notre arrivé, mais vite oublié : l'accueil, les facilités pour arriver et (malheureusement) repartir + les présents de bienvenue nous ont rendu notre séjour très agréable. merci on reviendra !

The Old Library Brora

We had a great week staying in the Old Library. A perfect location for exploring the local area and further beyond. The house is very well equipped and everything you need is nearby - shops, restaurants and cafes. A great place to stay for a family holiday.
