We had a great time at this cottage. The description provided was accurate; it is very remote and scenic, we only spotted 3 walkers at a distance all week, just as we like it. The views are terrific and plenty of walks direct from the door. Property is well equipped with everything we needed. Property host Evan is a real gent, very helpful. He met us on arrival (showed us the way from the nearest village) and also on leaving. Thanks Evan. We definitely recommend this place if you like peace and quiet and being in a remote location.

Arrived in the mist and Evan guided us in to reach the place. Access is as described, on forest track road, crossing a ford and small river by car. Secluded, peaceful, stunning landscape valley all around. We loved it! Property was clean, tidy and has plenty of room inside. We would come back again without any hesitation.

Gorgeous location- VERY remote- at least half an hour from main road and across a ford and a river. River levels rose after rain so a suitable vehicle is a must! Beautiful off grid cottage- very well equipped and stunning scenery. Need to run the generator on dull days when solar isn’t effective. Arranged to meet host in local village to pick up keys and be escorted in and shown how to use the generator etc. cosy and peaceful- a beautiful place to stay.
