The front door leads into a small veranda with large picture windows and a comfortable sofa - an ideal spot to watch the ever-changing seascapes below. The living room has a warm welcoming open fire, as well as a folding dining table. The kitchen at the rear of the cottage is small but well-equipped, complete with modern units. There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the second with twin beds. The garden at the front of the cottage is fully enclosed with a small fence but is not necessarily secure for dogs and is mainly laid to grass with mature shrubs and a Spring flower border. Animals are welcome but any damage to the property done by them will require payment of a compensatory fee. The land at the rear goes straight up onto open hillside. Deer graze nearby and are likely to be inquisitive visitors at the window! The cottage has been owned by the same family for generations, and the current owners have modernised and improved the accommodation in recent years, now providing a warm, cosy, and secluded base in which to relax and to explore the best of this stunning Highland area.
