We had a lovely week at the cottage. On arrival there was prosecco and home made cake which was very welcome. The cottage was absolutely stunning and immaculate throughout, every little detail had been thought about including plastic glasses for the hot tub and robes etc. We will definitely be back to stay again.

Very high standard of accommodation. Cleanliness is up there with the best we have stayed in previously 😁Pippa was most helpful & attentive.Attention to deal is excellent Supplies are plentiful Super comfortable bed!Laundry a bonus with pods suppliedWe obviously knew before we booked, but just off a main road which you can hear from hot tub but not so much in the property. Hot tub for us was a bit small compared to what we are used to.There is another holiday let next to the Byre, but tbh we never saw or head anyone the whole week!Had a lovely, relaxing week and all credit to Pippa & James for such a high standard of accommodation.
