Great farmhouse with good size rooms. Warm and cosy with Aga and wood burner when necessary. Also used the summer house and enjoyed the early spring sunshine. Spectacular views from the bath of lambs on the hill. Helpful and friendly hosts. Looking forward to returning next year.

High points of this cottage are the view, particularly from the roll top bath! The original features of the house, the huge family kitchen diner and of course the visiting kittens. We had ample space for our Glasgow family to eat with us. We spent the day in Edinburgh, our teenagers went to Transmit in Glasgow and my partner went fishing. I curled Read moreup to read and watch the spectacular sunsets. We are already looking at when we can return. Thank you for a great family holiday. Hide
