We could not have picked a more beautiful place to stay to celebrate the Scottish Hogmanay. We have stayed in many self-catering cottages in the UK and have to say that Cedar Cottage is by far one of the most comfortable & well equipped. Beautiful Frances and Ray, England

Cedar Cottage proved to be a gem of a find, high quality finishes throughout with an exceptional attention to detail. Everything has been thought of from the practical and thoughtful welcome pack; the well equipped kitchen; gorgeously comfy sofas with lovely home furnishings through to decent toiletries in both bathrooms, board games and a decent book collection. The log burner adds to the experience. In truth you would hardly want (or even need)to leave at times! Heather, Scotland

The cottage is beautiful, the attention to detail with both the build quality and finishing touches second to none. Cedar Cottage is far more than a holiday let, it’s a home from home!
