Trip to the highlands
We had a lovely stay at the Clayhooter! It was a spacious house that was comfortable and clean. Graham was very attentive to any questions as was the neighbor, Karen. We went on a wonderful hike and even met a friendly horse and some highland coos. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks so much!

Just what we wanted
Very spacious property, ideal for our group of five adults and two dogs looking for a quiet place out in the country. It had everything we needed, including a well-stocked larder of goodies left by previous guests! Would definitely recommend, it really lived up to its billing.
