Excellent location. Although a working farm it was quiet and the views were excellent. The lodge was clean warm and comfortable, and the hot tub was 'to die for'. I would recommend it to friends and family if asked and if we visit that part of Scotland again would definitely stay there again.

What a treat! The Calving Shed was everything we could want in a holiday cottage: characterful, very comfortable and clean, lovely views, generous welcome treats (great to be able to make a cuppa before unpacking!). The hot tub, the good quality of the furnishings, very helpful host.... The only downside was that we hadn't booked for longer. A delightful, relaxing stay.
