This place is an adorable bed and breakfast. Diana is communicative and accommodating, just message through the app and she answers immediately. They had a lil whisky waiting on arrival which was great because this is on the whisky trail. I would only suggest dealing with some upholstery stains on the cute furniture to have a flawless stay.

We received the most inhospitable greeting upon arrival. The choice of breakfast times were 0700, 0730, 0800 or 0830. We normally don’t like to set an alarm clock to have breakfast on vacation. You could feel the metal coils of the mattress poking you in bed. I would not stay here again. I’ve been to almost fifty countries and felt very unwelcome here.
