Wonderful property and host. Travelled with three young kids and dog and everything was perfect. The property is wonderful, can climb up to a beautiful view point from front door, dog off lead, house is warm comfortable clean and well provided. Great location. Hot tub was a massive hit for the family. Would love to return. Can't think of anything that we needed that wasn't there. The games provided were a great bonus! Thank you for having us!
I can't think of anything. We had a perfect stay!

No idea as was cancelled last minute leaving us with no other option to cancel the trip as no alternatives. Shame tho as looked good.
Flippant attitude and impersonal text received from property. “nothing I can do Im afraid”, unprofessional to say the least.
Also tried to get me to cancel the booking at my end which would have meant I lost the money as was a non refundable booking. Booking.com not much better as still not had a reply three days later despite saying would get back to me within 24 hours, total letdown and ruined the weekend.

The location and scenery. The home sauna was fantastic and got to do this outdoors looking onto the beautiful scenery.

The location and views were lovely.
Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the property was below an acceptable standard on arrival. The fridge was dirty and had an unpleasant smell. The kitchen cupboards and drawers were difficult to open, with some not opening at all. There were cobwebs throughout the property and dead flies on the bathroom floor. The bathroom was mouldy. Overall, this made the accommodation feel poorly maintained.
Communication from the host was poor from the outset. On arrival, we were not given clear instructions on how or where to collect the key, which meant we had to sit in the car for around 20 minutes before gaining access to the property.
More seriously, the hot tub area felt unsafe. There is an unmarked sheer drop directly beside the hot tub, which is not obvious, particularly in low light. The lighting around the hot tub is very limited, with only two sensor lights that switch off very quickly, leaving the area very poorly lit. During normal use of the hot tub, my partner fell and sustained cuts and significant bruising. This was extremely upsetting and could have been far more serious.
We informed the host immediately after the incident but received no response at all, either to check on his wellbeing or to acknowledge the safety concern. The lack of communication following an injury on the property was unacceptable.
Due to the cleanliness issues, safety concerns, and very poor communication from the host, we would not return or recommend this property.

The location
Property has a lot of potential but the stay was a complete let down due to hygiene and safety issues. On arrival it was pitch black and we were only told the kitchen was being upgraded, with no mention of the wider issues. The fridge was extremely small and not suitable for a weekend stay. Access to the hot tub felt awkward and there was no lighting on the stairs or path to it, meaning we had to use a phone torch to walk in the dark. There were multiple cleanliness and maintenance concerns in the bathroom and bedroom including what appeared to be rodent droppings, heavily stained shower head and fittings, a bathroom bin coming away from the wall, and a bedroom socket area that did not look safe. Due to being unable to shower properly, we left early. Not requesting a refund, but highlighting these issues as they are hygiene and safety related.

Excellent stay in the farmhouse. Four of us in the property and were really pleased. Great location as we were on a fishing trip for a few days. Warm and comfortable with all that we needed for our stay. Would not hesitate in using the property again. Very friendly helpful host.
None to note.

Being rushed .. time stated 10-11 checkout .. we had the hosts at the door at 10.15 asking was we ready to go .. we was out by 10.45 whilst we was still putting stuff in the car the hosts where upstairs in the property .. felt invasive

Beautiful Location Friendly host
Some attention to detail needed cobwebs in corners, mirrors looked like they’d been cleaned with a dirty cloth. Beds require updating

Didn’t like that.

Location was excellent and host was quite friendly and approachable
Utensils were easily available however it will be better to have a upgrade as few looked quite worn out

Location was fab. Views are amazing and the red kites soaring overhead are magical. The fresh tulips on the table was a lovely touch.
Great shower and plenty of hot water.
The hot tub was great.
Could do with more comfy seating. It was OK for 3 of us but there’s not actually enough if the house is at full occupancy.
Some benches near the hot tub would be helpful for putting stuff on.

The location of the property is perfect - stunning view of the fields, loch and little village. The double bedroom also had a great view looking down the valley, and the sunsets were beautiful. The hot tub is a really great addition and we thoroughly enjoyed using it, whilst admiring the view. The host was lovely and really helpful and friendly.
The cottage has SO much potential, but currently, it is in need of a re-vamp. The kitchen and bathroom both need replacing and bringing up to current standards. The beds were very uncomfortable - the mattresses need replacing and the pillows and duvets were not much better. However, the current state of the cottage reflects the price, and if changes are made, prices will go up and may out-price some families. However, I’d be happy to pay more for the extra comfort.

Enjoyed the views of Loch Ken and the red kites and other birds flying about. Had a few baths and enjoyed the hot tub, ate some apples that had fallen from the tree, sat on the grass in the lovely garden, had breakfast by the lily pond, tried out the hammock. Idyllic!! And Lindsey was very welcoming and helpful. Great value too.

The host was very friendly and always available on site.
We had lovely stay and children enjoyed watching working farm.
We value peace and quiet of the house, the closeness of nature in the area, beautiful views, yet close enough to shops, restaurants and pubs (10mins drive).
The house was well equipped, warm, clean and cosy. We were glad that there was a lot of tourists information, guides and leaflets on local attractions.
There were few things we thought were missing like oven gloves or enough blankets but the host took it on board and likely sorted for next holidays makers.
The visit to A&E after touching a bat bare hands when they decided to visit one night. Always use gloves! Or switch the lights off, open windows wide and leave them alone and they will find their way home.
