idyllic countryside getaway

rural location spacious room fabulous variety highland cows
I appreciated the highland cows i saw during breakfast. Such a delight! the complimentary whisky i had in my room, combined with the view, resulted in a very relaxing afternoon. breakfast was lovely. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. even the single-track road to the hotel was a highlight because of the sheep there.
The water pressure in the shower was a little low. This made it slightly difficult to rinse shampoo thoroughly.
