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.

The kitchen is fantastic, fully equipped with everything you could need and the views from the front and back of the property are exceptional. The bed and pillows were really comfortable. The host had left a welcome pack including milk, that was a really nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you Rob & Lynne

Comfy, cosy and well equipped. Very dog friendly. Excellent hosts. It is a quiet rural location which means the pub and shops are a drive away but this is more than made up for by the countryside being on your doorstep.
