We had a fantastic time here! The place was beautifully decorated and kept spotless, which made everything feel really special. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, much better than most places we've stayed. Loved the cosy BBQ hut and the hot tub - such a treat! The distillery next door was lovely, with plenty of nice giftsand everyone we met was super friendly. Thanks a lot!
Emma Jones
We had an amazing time at this lovely place! The location is perfect for exploring the Scottish countrysideand the hot tub was a real treat after long days out. The house is super cosy but still feels spacious, with comfy beds and a well-stocked kitchen. Waking up to the logs being replenished was a nice touch. Our hosts were fantastic-nothing was too much troubleand they were always on hand if we needed anything. Definitely a place we'd come back to!
Mark
Wow, what a lovely find! Jenny made us feel so welcomeand the cottage's charm really stood out. We loved the thoughtful gift after our wedding. The gin was top-notchand the Tomahawk Steak was delicious. Honestly, it was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Definitely coming back soon!
Sammy
We absolutely loved this holiday home! The decor is really charming and it's got everything you could need. The kitchen is well stockedand the living room feels much bigger in person than in the photos. The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect for unwinding. Outside, the enclosed decking and seating area made it lovely to relaxand the BBQ hut was a fun touch. Plus, the shop nearby has loads of treats and great gins-highly recommend for a chilled getaway!
Alex M.
Really enjoyed the stay, cosy cottage, great base for exploring Edinburgh, Glasgowand even New Lanark. Nice!
James
We stayed in this lovely cottage nestled in the countrysideand honestly, it was just what we needed for some peace and quiet. The scenery was beautifuland the hot tub was a real treat after long walks through the muddy fields. The best part, though, was Nala the cat, who visited us every day - such a lovely touch! The nearby village of Forth had a couple of shops, but it's a bit of a trek through the fields. Day trips were at least half an hour away on some pretty rough roads, but that's part of the charm. Would definitely recommend!
Emily Parker
This cottage was such a lovely find! Perfect spot to explore both Edinburgh and Glasgow. It had everything we needed and was super comfy. Definitely telling family and friends about it!
Sarah M.
