Summary: Winter’s Cottage felt welcoming from the moment we opened the door! It had been a long day of traveling from my friend & I, but as soon as we arrived we felt comfortable & were instantly relaxed. The cleanliness ratings were spot on. Clean, without any nasty product odors. Beds were comfortable. Bedroom heaters warmed up quickly when we got back late & house had cooled for the night. Great for sleeping!Sitting room was our favorite spot to unwind each evening. Especially cozy with fireplace going on a chilly night! The water was just like our at home, refreshing! No need for water bottles.We even enjoyed reading about the history of the cottage and looking at the many photos displayed on the walls. We could imagine what it was like years ago.Host was very responsive to questions. She also checked to be sure we made it to the cottage, were able to get in, & that the cottage was in order upon our arrival. The yard is well kept, flowers are lovely, & the scenery —made us smile non-stop! We greatly enjoyed our stay at Winter’s cottage! It was definitely our Scottish home away from home!
