Beautiful property, we loved the garden. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and also a cafetiere. Short walk to lovely friendly Inn. So much to do in area. Cosy house, lots of hot water and great to have washing machine and pulley to dry clothes. 10 stars would happily return x

Absolutely beautiful cottage in very peaceful location. Excellent communication from Gail & Ken with helpful tips on where to go and things to see ( Glentrool, Castle Kennedy and the red deer range were fantastic). Turn left out of the cottage and stroll for a couple of minutes and you’ll even come across some llamas! The cottage was extremely comfortable and provided everything you could possibly need for a week exploring this stunning location. Definitely hope to return :)
