Great hosts, clean and well furnished plus the best welcome our dog has ever received.
Pros:

We only stayed one night with our bouncy cockerpoo, to break a long journey, but were made to feel extremely welcome by our dog super friendly hosts Des and Sinead. The accommodation was very clean and tastefully furnished and nothing was too much trouble to make our stay as comfortable as possible, with a lovely cooked breakfast to set us up for our onward journey. Conveniently situated just off the A9 in the Cairngorms we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended.

Pros:

Super vriendelijke uitbaters. De kamers waren ruim, comfortabel en mooi ingericht. Ontbijt is een aanrader. Hondjes worden hier op handen gedragen (snacks, aandacht).
We komen zeker terug!
