Summary: Visiting the Highlands and staying at Vale Cottage has become an annual tradition for us. Everything about the cottage remains top notch and they recently upgraded the beds and TV's. The management team makes the process easy and while we didn't have any needs this trip, they have been very responsive in the past. We really can recommend a better place to stay in the area for a quiet weekend.
