  In short we loved our stay at Braeface Cottage.

  Returned home from a week of relaxation, peace and quite, just what the doctor ordered, staying at the Braeface Cottage. Rob and Lynne are very welcoming and and helpful, giving advice, information on where to go and places to take your dog. A welcome pack is provided just to help you settle in along with a number of basic items, milk for example. Rob and Lynne even provide towels for your dog and throws for the furniture. Rob called shortly after our arrival and talked us through the use of various items, tv, heating etc. Our dog Lara enjoyed the enclosed gardens, which gave us peace of mind while she was out exploring. The accommodation was very comfortable with just about everything you will need for your stay. Loved the big and very comfortable beds. My wife wanted to take the kitchen home only thing missing was a dryer. The property is well located for trips to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Sterling withe the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel within easy reach. We did have a couple of minor issues, not enough to spoil our break, but on reporting these to Rob, these were addressed almost immediately. Yes we would recommend Braeface Cottage as a place to stay, and we are looking to rebook. Graham & Chrissie

  Fiona made us feel so welcome with simple little touches, like the couple of Xmas presents for us on arrival.

  The cottage has everything you could possibly need by way of facilities. The pub two doors down is quiet and very welcoming. They welcomed our two well behaved Jack Russell terriers. The cottage is well located to get to either Glasgow or Edinburgh and is a great base to explore both. Although you feel quite remote, we were surprised that there were over 300 restaurants on Just Eat, should we have wanted to order any sort of cuisine! But the kitchen is superbly equiped and we had our evening meals in. Carluke and Lanark are only 15 minutes away, both have good supermarkets to cater for every taste. The bed is very comfy and the bed linen is fresh and clean. The garden is spacious and I am sure would be lovely to sit out in when it is a bit warmer. The central heating is easy to operate and the cottage is well insulated, so we were like toast in the evenings. The shower is easy to use and plenty of hot water. This was a lovely little holiday for me and my partner and we will definitely be back, if available, in the future.

  Lovely cottage.

  Very clean. Ideal for visiting kelpies (25mins away) and other local attractions eg loch Lomond approx just over an hour. Property is comfortable with plenty of logs for the fire. Bathroom did not have a lock on the door but I mentioned this to the owner as a suggestion and she said it would be done that very day so they take on board any comments for improvements. I did take my one year old cocker spaniel but unlike some of the other reviews that say it's very safe in the garden for dogs I personally didn't feel it was safe enough to allow her off lead due to very low fences and gate at the front and large gaps under the side fence at the front. Her recall outside is fairly good but I just would not risk it. This comment is not meant as a criticism merely for information if you have a young dog or an escape artist dog... The owners do provide dog towels,dog bed, bowl and sofa covers so that was all great. Overall we had a lovely stay. Thank you.

  When we entered the cottage, we were really impressed at the size and also the decoration.

  The kitchen extension was breathtaking and we immediately knew we would be having a wonderful week. Rob popped in a few times to make sure we knew how to use the heating and show us other things we needed to know He also kept in touch by text and his personal touch was the perfect start to our break. A lovely host. The enclosed garden at the front and back of the cottage have us peace of mind to let harry wander about safely. He instantly adapted to his new home and the comfortable, warm , cosy interior was a major factor in this. Lazy mornings were followed by afternoon adventures to different destinations , e.g the kelpies. All this was ended by quiet, cosy evenings in our beautiful cottage. As 25 year veterans of pet friendly holidays all over Scotland and North England, We can heartily recommend staying at Braeface Cottage. You won't be dissapointed

  Our family stay at Sheildhill Farm House was truly wonderful.

  We were a party of 5 adults, 4 children and two dogs. Accommodation on arrival was warm, clean and very comfortable. We all enjoyed the pool table (many tournaments and killer pool games) and the spacious hot tub. The farm house itself is very spacious, large rooms with plenty of space to find a quirky space to settle in a comfie chair and read a book or play a board game with family. There was a huge variety of books and toys to entertain our youngest 2yr old member of the party. Now when it comes to describing our hosts we can't praise them enough, Suzannah was always friendly and exceedingly helpful no matter the query. Hospitality was superb, we all throughly enjoyed the bountiful supply of home made scones with butter and jam! One of the very best breaks we've enjoyed as a family and I'm hopeful we will return. Thank you!
