On my way in Scotland, I was framing to spend the evening there. No way to book on line, nobody on the phone, no way to leave a message. Thinking of the floods, I thought that the line had burst.

This is a must do if you intend visiting this part of Scotland. The house is a treat and the owners delightful. We arrived late but were immediately made at ease and welcome by Khalil.
