Pros:

This place tried to change my booking 2 days prior to my booking. They said I wanted a extra bed, when I had booked a room with a double bed and a futon. I tried to phone them 5 times to ask them what they were on about but it went straight to voicemail....

Cons:

Then on hogmany, of all days, the day of our stay, they cancelled the room without warning at 04.07am! I tried to call, no answer, tried again she answered when I asked her what was going on she hung up on me. I had already pre paid, now I have to wait 7-12 days for a refund. And on hogmany I had to find somewhere else to stay. It wasn't in the most accessible of places. Really they should be investigated for this and not allowed on this website. They are giving booking.com a bad name. Ive never had this issue before.

Excellent B&B located close to the Cairngorm Mountain area and the area east of Inverness.
Pros:

The Cooperage was a B&B homestay. We were in an upstairs bedroom where it was quiet and shared a restroom with those upstairs, there was a downstairs bathroom if needed. Our host sat us down in the kitchen every morning and prepared our breakfast to order, we were quite satisfied with our food. The home was extra clean and nicely decorated. The location was central to the area of Scotland east of Inverness, there were lots of castles, passes, coast and lighthouses to visit. We had close access to the Cairngorm mountain area from there as well. Parking was supplied and the host let us keep a few things in her refrigerator.

Cons:

There is nothing bad to say about this stay.

Pros:

It was an amazing stay at Brendas place, we loved our room, everything we needed was there. Super clean, you could almost eat from the floor. The breakfast time was super nice with some chats & exchange with Brenda. We also were allowed to use the kitchen (fridge, microwave, etc). Many thanks for this exceptional welcome 🙏🏻
