A good location for walking and visiting places of interest. The cottage is nice and clean. The kitchen crockery, saucepans and utensils were very nice. Thought had gone into the decor which was traditional with nice pictures on the wall to give a homely feel. We found the traffic from the road very noisy and were unable to sit out on the lovely patio. However that may not bother everyone as we are used to the quiet location we live in back home.

Just home from a week at Lochview Barn. Had a great time. The Barn was a lovely. It’s nice and compact, clean with all you need for a comfortable stay. Met Drew when collecting the keys and had a great chat, very helpful and friendly. Would recommend a visit, lots to see and do in the area.
