    Other than this everything was excellent one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything

  • David

    From the moment we stepped through the door, it was evident that the accommodation was outstanding. My wife and I tend to bring everything with us when traveling to holiday rentals, but at Pipistrelle, we needn't have bothered. These hosts have truly thought of everything, leaving us feeling utterly pampered. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, setting the tone for our stay. Moreover, the standard of the cottage itself was exceptional. In fact, I can confidently say that this cottage is the best we have ever rented. It's fully equipped with every amenity imaginable, from the luxurious underfloor heating to the convenience of TVs in both bedrooms. And let's not forget the highlight of our stay – the wonderful hot tub in the back garden, which provided the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. One aspect that particularly impressed us was the cleanliness of the cottage. It was spotless upon our arrival, a testament to the care and attention to detail of the hosts. Honestly, we struggled to find anything to criticize. If I had to nitpick, the only thing I would change is the ability to transport the entire cottage to Scotland with us. That's how much we loved it! Overall, our experience at Pipistrelle holiday cottage was nothing short of magical. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway. Huge thanks to the hosts for creating such a haven of relaxation and luxury. We can't wait to return!
