Springburn cottage was a home from home. We loved staying here for the peace and beautiful views. The cottage is dog friendly and disabled friendly too. We used the downstairs bedroom and bathroom as my wife has a disability. The road to the cottage has now been fully resurfaced. So no pots to deal with. The kitchen is very well equipped. Very spacious open plan living room/ dining and kitchen area. Garden is fenced to keep the dog in and the sheep out! Wi-Fi was excellent. TV signal slightly broken up. We watched through the iplayer. Highly recommend. Planning to come again.
