The house is amazing. So clean and has everything you could need for your stay. The sofas, chairs and beds were very comfy. Great nights sleep had by all. The fully equipped kitchen makes it feel like a home away from home. The scenery is amazing and it is so peaceful and relaxing. The owners are very helpful calling prior to your holiday to give you support with amazing walks. We were sad to leave but looking forward to next year stay.

This is a really excellent property, in a perfect location. We had a very good holiday, doing very little, and this was the ideal place. We highly recommend the local pub, the Thistle Inn, for eating out.

Silver Dee is a beautiful bungalow situated next to Loch Ken. We greatly enjoyed our stay in lovely quiet surroundings. We were also lucky with lots of sunshine. It is an ideal site to explore the area. The house is very well equipped and the owners are very helpful. We would recommend the house unreservedly.My only little difficulty was my height (5ft 1) and the house is decorated for giants.We had a great holiday.
