Het huisje was niet helemaal schoon. We hadden hem geboekt vanwege de 2 badkamers maar in 1 kun je niet staand douchen. Huisje en de tuin was sfeervol. De lokatie was super! Het theehuisje en de pub maakten het een ontzettend leuke plek.

The cottage is in an excellent location very near a really great pub restaurant literally 2 minutes away the staff were lovely there, also all major supermarkets are within 10 minutes also a short walk to Rosslyn chapel not to be missed &2 small local supermarkets The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and has really a lovely garden.Minor issues are the sky box is in a cupboard and that needs you to get up and point it to use sky & the signal went off at regular intervals also the hot water in the downstairs shower was hit and miss other than that we had a lovely time and in the cottage we were in we had off road parking
