Dishwasher is a must. Cleanliness of cooking equipment lacking (no dishwasher, eco products?). Limited surfaces for food preparation or computer/printer connection. Beautiful bathroom upstairs, but sink has no mixer tap nor plug, and wet shaving is a trial given the mirror situation. Sleep quality affected by too small bed size.Unfortunately not the property for us.

We loved our 3 week stay at this delightful cottage. It was extremely comfortable, with a well equiped kitchen to self cater and a super co-op just minutes walk away. The large smart TV was also a bonus as we were there during Wimbledom and the start of the Olympics.We loved the village and all the wonderful walks that were available to us right from the front door. Killearn is also extremely well located to so many attractions making it easy to venture out on half day or day trips. Ken was a super host, very responsive and very helpful which made the whole experience even more memorable. Thank you so much.

Lovely stay in a quaint and comfortable cottage. Loved the kitchen and cooking on the range. Absolutely loved the tv and surround sound system. The village pub was brilliant. Very friendly and very busy but the food was wonderful. An excellent week.

We had a lovely time at Ken's and Caroline's small cottage. It was our honeymoon and Ken was kind enough to postpone our stay due to booking difficulties on our part. The Cottage is located in a nice scottish village that has a great restaurant and is all around quite lovely. The cottage itself is very cozy and is well equipped for guest. Especially the kitchen has massive amounts of kitchen ware with which to cook, although the stove is rather unusual (because it's always on). Works well enough though. Also there were a good amounts of cooking ingredients already there which made cooking for only a few days a lot easier and cheaper cause we didn't have to get things like Salt or Pepper in larger amounts. There was fast Wifi and a well equipped TV, a fireplace with wood supplied. Communication was great as well. Instructions always understandable and always fast replies. Two smaller complaints though: the cottage in general is rather dark, even when it's sunny outside. Nothing major and nothing that could be done about it, just a small thing that we per se didn't like as much. Secondly it was always somewhat colder in the cottage because the heat had to be turned on manually and took a while to get warm. So whenever we went out or during the night it cooled considerably. Again nothing major but irked us a bit. Overall a great little place in a very cute but still feeling modern little village.
