With temperatures below zero we fully appreciated a glowing woodburner and a thoughtful stock of provisions, on arrival. It was immediately apparent that the owners wanted their guests to have a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The fire was burning when we arrived and there was a welcome basket full of goodies, and a bottle of wine in the fridge. The cottage was immaculate and well equipped. Location was great with a woodland walk just down the road that the dogs loved. Would definitely return here and have already recommended to friends.

As with last year fires were lit and there was a lovely tray of cake, mince pies, teapot etc to welcome us on arrival. The owners think of absolutely everything. Made more use of the Spa Shop this time where Christine was a mine of information! We are trying a different part of Scotland next year but this property sets a very high bar and no doubt we'll be back at some point in the future. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this property.
