Can’t fault anything. The cottage had everything you could possibly need and was extremely comfortable. Beds, bedding and pillows all excellent. Shower rooms were very nicely appointed and showers worked extremely well. Th farm is set in beautiful countryside and there is so much to do in the area.We will definitely return, still so much to see and do.

We have returned to Speed the Plough on a number of occasions. A great location for Edinburgh, Glasgow and in-between. Staff very helpful and prompt when contacting them. A home from home and no doubt we will be returning.
