We cannot praise the staff at Penninghame Estate enough - they were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and kind during our stay at Bruce apartment. The grounds are beautiful and the area is an outdoor haven for walking and cycling enthusiasts. The apartment was large, spacious and catered for all requirements. The peace and quiet this holiday complex provides is second to none.
