8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Disappointed that reading a review from July 2025 about gates not secure, this issue had not been addressed! We could not let our dog out to run freely in the garden because the garden was insecure, when we tried to close the gates, the whole front fencing wobbled& was very unstable! The owners obviously knew this because one gate was tie wrapped & one tied to a marine buoy!!
The outside of the cottage needed a good lick of paint, bit grubby looking as we pulled up !!! I did need to clean the front patio doors so we could see out!
In addition the shower cubicle was failing to drain, resolved by ourselves unblocking & cleaning the drain.
A welcome pack would have been nice. First cottage we've ever stayed in, that there was literally nothing, not good after a 6 hr journey, bearing in mind the remoteness of the cottage. Thank goodness for the wonderful kames Village Store! Amazing place, could get everything we needed!
On the plus side, fabulous views, lovely interiors to the cottage& a gorgeous garden to enjoy, lovely comfortable bed too& lots of utensils provided.
Kames Hotel a delightful amenity in the village& very friendly people too, food was excellent!
Information book in cottage needs updating too as some places suggested were no longer open!
On the whole a pleasant stay & we would return, only if the garden was made secured!

The cottage is in a beautiful location with fantastic views which you could look at for hours. It was comfortable and the kitchen area was very well equipped although there only seemed to be 5 chairs at the dining table even although there were six of us.The garden was not secure for a dog and this could be solved by fixing the gate. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and hope to return.
