Highly recommended

Excellent location, with a fantastic garden. We saw deer, red Squirrels and many small birds from the garden. The cottage is very comfortable and light, well equipped with particular attention to detail. Beautiful plates, mugs and bowls, a good variety of utensils.

Great cottage..great location

We had a lovely stay at Mallard, there is plenty to do in the area and the countryside is just awesome. The grandchildren loved the garden and exploring the woods. The wildlife in the garden was a delight, especially the woodpecker and pine martin. (Also saw a capercaillie on one of my cycle rides) We enjoyed to cycling and trips to Loc Garten for walks and to see the Osprey. Would definitely book again.
