How do you match perfection? Well, only by return visits to Lettoch Beag and, this time, with perfect weather. There was even a tremendous thunderstorm with huge hailstones. Lettoch Beag has everything. It’s as simple as that. Lovely hosts, stunning location, luxurious and comfortable accommodation and squirrels, deer and buzzards thrown in as a bonus. No place to match it. Just go ahead and book.
