  • "This was our second visit to Ulla Dhu."

    We weren't disappointed as the cottage was just as cosy and comfy. The weather was mixed during this visit but there is a lot to do in the area. Our host was able to suggest lots of places to visit. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come again later in the year.
