Amazing views of a beautiful place

We have been to portmahomack several times but this was our first stay in this property. It had everything we could need for a cozy/comfortable stay and as the weather was kind to us, made full use of the deck to take in the scenery

Excellent holiday cottage very well equipped, with stunning views over the Dornoch Firth. The only thing that could have been improved was the TV, which was not setup for Freeview or Sky. and was not easy to navigate.
