What our customers say about their holidays

  We visited the property in August of last year and fell in love.

  As soon as we got home we re-booked to come back in the February school holidays and already we are looking to go back in the six weeks holidays as even our 2 year old is upset to be home. The house is so comfortable and clean, it has everything you need for your stay, it feels like a home away from home. It's also full of wildlife around the property and so quiet for being near a main road. The "traffic" isn't a problem in the slightest you get the odd few cars during the day and hardly any at all on a night. At night if you get a clear sky, go and sit and look at the stars it's an unbelievable experience if you live in a city like ourselves. The owners are lovely, lovely people and will help you with anything they can. I love the tray the owner leaves on arrival for you, it feels so personalised to the family visiting somehow! the owner also popped round to tell us a few places we could visit nearby with our children! I must also mention the neighbors as they make their own honey and it's unbelievable and their dog Finn is the most gentle German Shepherd I've ever come across he deserves a mention in this review. We can't wait to return again as soon as we can.

  The interior of the cottage is lovely.

  Very clean, spacious and well equipped. Brenda gave me a very warm welcome on arrival. Unfortunately the garden and proximity to the A68 meant we cut our stay short. The small grass area with tables and chairs is separated by a hedge to the very busy road so sitting out wasn't really an option for us given traffic noise. In addition, as was noted in the property description before booking, we couldn't let our dog off lead in the garden which proved a bit of a hindrance. The garden really isn't appropriate for having a dog in my opinion as there is only a narrow stretch of grass and a lot of gravel which our dog wasn't keen on! I appreciate my comments on the external space and proximity to the busy road is a personal thing and others may not be concerned about traffic noise. It was a deal breaker for us and the lack of sleep due to traffic noise right through the night (had to have windows open as so hot) unfortunately hampered our stay.

  Thank you for a lovely stay!

  ! This was such a lovely bungalow with everything we needed. When we needed assistance with the fire they were over in minutes to help us. Super friendly and the neighbours were also super friendly. We stayed here while we were going to see Taylor Swift and it was perfect to have the space to catch up with friends. Comfortable beds and living space, wish we were there longer to enjoy some alfresco dining on the lovely decking! Thank you, we will definitely be back again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Absolutely loved our stay here.

  Just a couple of suggestions; there were only 7 forks in the cutlery set for our 8 guests. The cups are very small (that's just us being picky because we like a big mug of coffee!), and we really needed some bigger pans! The welcome package was amazing and very well received! Thank you for providing a very comfortable home from home for our stay. We celebrated our daughter's 30th birthday as well as bringing in the new year

  We had such a fabulous weekend - Brenda and Sandy went above and beyond to make us feel welcome!

  Thank you both so much for the unexpected birthday birthday spoils for me, the welcome gifts for everyone (including the doggos!) and for trying to help us make a plan for weatherproofing our picnic by the lochs. Such a pity it rained most of the weekend, but we still had an absolute blast and were super grateful to be able to enjoy your very comfortable Bungalow! Just the best way to start my next decade :)
