Wonderful cottage in a lovely rural location. The living room and beds were all very comfortable, and the host had ensured everything was just right so it felt like a home-from-home. All very welcome after a day of visiting the Loch's and Cities of Scotland. Additionally, the views were outstanding, we sat outside on the decking for breakfast, and in the evening just watching the wildlife and taking in the scenery.

We had a wonderful holiday at Thistlebank. The house was clean, warm, comfortable and was geographically convenient for everywhere we wanted to go. The cottage was extremely well equipped and the hosts were charming. The beds were very comfortable enabling us all to sleep well and spend much of our time enjoying walks nearby. I would definitely recommend this holiday cottage..
