We were delighted with Thairn Cottage, especially the scenery and birdlife each day outside our conservatory. Yvette provided some delicious scones on our arrival and we made use of the fully equipped kitchen with oven and full-sized fridge. Overall, a very pleasant and comfortable stay in the cottage.
