The bathroom was shared, we like our own. My fault for not checking.

Great price, lovely breakfast.

It was an amazing stay at Brendas place, we loved our room, everything we needed was there. Super clean, you could almost eat from the floor. The breakfast time was super nice with some chats & exchange with Brenda. We also were allowed to use the kitchen (fridge, microwave, etc). Many thanks for this exceptional welcome 🙏🏻

Location. Not much to attract you to the immediate vicinity and was good for a place to stop rather than a place to stay

Brenda the host is lovely and very welcoming. Room was very comfortable and no complaints on facilities.

Rooms are not with en-suite bathrooms, but it wasn’t a problem as we were the only ones staying.

Brenda was a lovely host who made a great Scottish Breakfast. She is very knowledgeable about the area and a pleasure to talk to. Lovely views over the hills behind.

This is my second review because I stayed for 10 days and extended my stay for a full 2 weeks! A great home with a wonderful host. Because I stayed so longer, Brenda was more like a flatmate!! I came from NZ and the Cooperage was a very central village to make trips in all directions of the Highlands to visit castles etc. The scenery driving to get to places was so spectacular, that I had to stop often to take photos! My room was large, a comfy bed, a delicious generous cooked breakfast and I was able to cook my dinner when I needed to. I enjoyed the bath with bathsalts provided on arrival home from a couple of cold windy walks around castle gardens. The rain shower is excellent too. Brenda provided lots of little extras just in case they were needed. I added a photo of a double rainbow from my window, and a shot of Balmoral Castle A great place to stay, thanks Brenda.

The breakfast was delicious and generous. The venue was very central for visiting castles and other tourist activities. My room was south facing with a large window and a wonderful view. Everything was very clean, I had use of the kitchen and did some laundry which was much appreciated. Good parking. Brenda is lovely and very hospitable. The house and neighbourhood were quiet. The drives around the area are stunning. The bathroom had a lovely big bath with bath salts and a separate rain shower. I stayed for 2 weeks and it made an excellent base.

Brenda was a great host, made me feel very welcome and looked after me, even cooked me breakfast. Felt like a home away from home.

Brenda is an exceptional host & made me feel very welcome. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, the breakfast delicious & the shower - WOW! I honestly felt like I'd had a full spa treatment. Plus the view from the window every morning was a delight. Having access to the kitchen amenities for my 4 night stay was super convenient & the location is fantastic for exploring the numerous places of interest all around the area.

A great pleasure to find a place that knew how to provide a vegan breakfast and made several suggestions as to added components.

The owner is very friendly, informative and simply very nice person. This is a unique personal touch in all these anonymous bookings. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. And if you ask the owner, you can have a very good breakfast with a lot of talks :)
