CHRISTIAN STEINER
Over the years I have stayed at many self catering cottages around the UK. However, what I can say without reservation is that Kintulloch is the best that mysef and partner have ever stayed at. The cottage was fully equipped with everything to provide a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with the latest appliances, including a large frudge freezer, ceramic hob cooker/oven, microwave and washing machine. There is every kitchen utensil you coukd wish for. The lounge has a lovely wood burning stove with the wood and firelighters all included. The bathroon has a bath tub abd ooiwer shower and heated towel rail for drying towells and clothes etc. All in all, Kintulloch is the perfect place for a totally relaxing holiday.Finally, a word about the hosts - Doctors Catherine and Rebecca Williams. The most welcoming and helpful hosts anyone could wish for.

Fabulous location if you like to be away from it all and into nature. Red squirrels, Jays, woodpecker and 100s of tits and other small birds. Lovely log fire. Local walks. Only downsides are far as we were concerned was no hair dryer to be found and TV was small and a bit dated. We ended up watching Netflix on Laptop when we couldn’t look out of the window at the wildlife. Highly recommended.
