Super cottage with lovely view.

Super cottage with lovely view.Machermore Cottage was ideal for us - quiet location with lovely views across the firelds to the sea. The cottage was extremely well appointed and immaculate throughout. If you like the outdoors and exploring it's a great location for a holiday. Very cosy and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Loved everything about this cottage.

Loved everything about this cottage. Location is remote but wonderfully peaceful. Well equipped. Comfortable We saw hares every morning out of the kitchen window. Must be a local family. Swifts, house martins, swallows swooped all around us. Shona was an excellent hostess. Very attentive and helpful.
