The house was in a fabulous location opposite the golf course and by the sea. The garden was very pretty and had plenty of places to sit, bbq and play games. The house had was very well equipped, if there had been a mop we would have cleaned the floor. I dont think anything else was missing.

We had a wonderful stay at Rothmar East and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway. The house itself is spacious, comfortable and full of character, with generous-sized high-ceiling rooms that easily accommodated our group of ten. It is very well equipped and provided everything we needed for a relaxiRead moreng and enjoyable stay. What really sets the property apart is its location. The scenery is absolutely spectacular, with stunning coastal views, beautiful countryside and some of the best walking routes we have experienced. The coastal walks are exceptional, offering a real sense of space, tranquillity and connection with nature. The area strikes an ideal balance between peaceful remoteness and access to local amenities. The nearby Old Clubhouse Pub was a particular highlight, serving excellent food and good local beer in a welcoming atmosphere. The adjacent golf course is beautifully situated and adds to the appeal of the location. We were also struck by the warmth and friendliness of the local people, who made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. Overall, Rothmar East provided the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of Scotland. A memorable house in a truly outstanding location. Hide
