We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The cottage is very clean and comfortable with everything you need, home from home. Stunning views all around , very peaceful and idyllic. We travelled out each day to the local castles, towns and an hour travel to Loch Lomond. It’s very convenient to the motorway and local connections. We will definitely return. We would definately recommend , and would give it more ⭐ if we could. Yvonne &Tony

Found the cottage to be very cosy and welcoming. Easy to see the owners have lots of experience and provide comfortable, well equipped accommodation that is lovely to be in. The cottage was nicely positioned with a view of the North Third. The kitchen had everything we needed and appreciated the welcome basket. Having a smart tv was a major plus for my daughter! And because the weather was damp/cold, it was lovely to be cosy and warm inside, watching our favourite films. We would happily return.
