This place is an adorable bed and breakfast. Diana is communicative and accommodating, just message through the app and she answers immediately. They had a lil whisky waiting on arrival which was great because this is on the whisky trail. I would only suggest dealing with some upholstery stains on the cute furniture to have a flawless stay.
