Half term break
This property is a real gem. We really appreciated the attention to detail in making this stay special. The property itself is beautiful and spacious with lovely views. The wood burner made the autumn stay so homely and a treat to come back to at the end of the day. The girls loved the piano ( a little tuning would make it even better), the games and fantastic large TV. The kitchen had everything needed and more we particularly appreciated the slow cooker. The welcome packages and fresh flowers made us feel very welcome.

Great long weekend stay in a beautiful quiet cottage
My partner, two daughters aged 8 - 10 our staffy and I had a great few days in this beautiful cottage. Susan was an excellent host even before we arrived and we had everything we needed for our stay thanks to the amazing welcome pack. There was plenty for our girls to do as we opted for a stay in break and the cottage was a delight and charm to stay in. We loved it. Thank you.

Lovely Cottage in the Scottish countryside
Perfect cottage for our holiday week! The hostess answered all my questions in a timely manner prior to our arrival, which was instrumental in my trip planning. The charming cottage was well equipped with all amenities - even including bread, milk and eggs! The cottage is located in a beautiful part of the country with pretty local towns nearby. I would definitely return for another wonderful holiday.

Great stay
Just home after a lovely long weekend spent at this property. Great communication with Susan the owner and clear directions for finding the property. Stayed here with two girls aged almost 12 and 14, and they loved all the outdoor and indoor games choices. Dog came too and inner garden was well fenced off and secure. Outer field area we kept him on a long line. Perfect accommodation for what we needed and we’re definitely hoping to be back.
