10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
The house was fabulous, very close to everything in the highlands and space for all three families.The teenagers slept in the cottage and loved it, we had lots of space in the main house to be together and we particularly loved to the fire Getaways where all easy to contact and answer my questions
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2024
Definitely the grounds and location are the highlight of the property. Very well maintained and a great sense of arrival. The house however is a little dated and not quite as good as it looks in the photos or on the surface. The plumbing in the cottage smells and the ensuite toilet was broken. Whilst things break, there was no compensation for the inconvenience...we just received pretty much a bad luck response. Prior to being advised of this I'd asked about getting the sofa bed made up and a late check out. Maybe one of these could have been considered as good will. Not as great an experience as other organisations offering the same service that we have stayed in that were far more personal. Really just felt like a transaction. Shame!

This is a beautiful property with all amenities. Tastefully decorated with everything at your fingertips. would definitely stay here again
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The grounds of the property are beautiful
The house was let down by lack of attention to detail and maintenance and did not reflect the quality you would expect for the high rate they charge.
Many bath towels were not clean and stained
Chair in living room was disgustingly filthy
Main bedroom-sheet torn,1 blind didn’t open.
Wardrobe found in messy state
Cottage-sleeper couch broken-mattress made up on floor
Driveway gate didn’t close
Some outdoor chairs broken
Communication with the managing agent was poor.Didn’t respond to call and texts
