Customer Reviews of Naver Cottage, nr Bettyhill - Sleeps 4
1st comment: A very well-appointed property, with pretty much everything you could need! The house is rather dark, due to the new games room extension, and the decor would not suit everyone’s taste – quite cluttered, and a definite emphasis on hunting/shooting/fishing! The owners are keen to please and ready to put right any problems. A phone with an honesty box would be welcome. Aug 2011.
2nd comment: We are always made to feel very welcome with little touches i.e. fruit flowers and even a wee something for our dog. Its probably not the best place for children as there is a stream and it is quiet, but thats why we go there. Excellent for the dog with the large enclosed garden and lots of walks in the area. June 2011.
3rd comment: Comfortable, cosy and loved the real fire. Games room was an added bonus. There was not very clear information on local walks cycle tracks etc. Could have done with more local info. Further away there was lots of info but not right around cottage. Oct 2010.
