The accommodation and location where just amazing! It was so perfect. We loved our stay .
The smallest thing. The cooking pans could have been better with the induction hob for cooking

We stayed here for our honeymoon last year so it was special to return for our first anniversary. We love the seclusion and the large private grounds that the dogs could run around in. I think they remembered it from last year too!! It is lovely to wake up to the sound of the stream and the sight of the lochan. We enjoyed a very lazy holiday, walking the dogs in the large grounds of the estate. Everyone we met was very friendly. The house is very clean and wants for nothing. The men who came to take away the bin for emptying asked if we'd had any problems with wasps. We hadn't then, but a couple of days later we did. I phoned the housekeeper then we went for a walk. The nest had been dealt with by the time we returned. Brilliant. We came across the men again when they were cutting the grass, and again when we were walking. They were very friendly and obviously hard working.
We mentioned last year that one of the rails on the sloped approach to the house is loose and it is still loose. Otherwise no issues.

The cottage and the location are beautiful and calm. Your support during the pandemic was great and we are glad that we could finally stay in the cottage and had a fantastic time. Thanks a lot.

We have stayed at this property on numerous occasions and it never ceases to impress. Easy access to local facilities and areas, but well off beaten track to enjoy a relaxing and tranquil stay in a beautiful location..
No tea towels/oven gloves available which made removing items from oven problematic. No salt or rinse aid in dishwasher. Minor items but can be an issue.

Beautiful house in scenic, peaceful location. Very comfortable with excellent bedrooms and bathrooms. Plenty of walks through woodlands from the door. Close to very good amenities, services, historic and natural attractions.

We absolutely love the Boat House - this our 4th time. We have marked you down on some aspects because of the COVID restrictions you still have in place. Not enough kitchen equipment meant more use of the dishwasher. I am more concerned about climate change than COVID so didn’t like that. No curtain tie backs? Really ? I know it is silly , but the small touches like a welcome pack, flowers, tissues and toiletries make a big difference - which is presumably why you used to prove these prior to COVID. Sorry for the rant but being remind about COVID-19 when you can’t find a spatula or want a cushion for the garden furniture is annoying.
Remove unnecessary COVID changes. Perhaps improve maintenance of the outside seating area.

Most beautiful location and beautiful house. Lovely to hear the running waters at night. Thanks so much also for sorting out the Sky box and bathroom issues so quickly.
Could do with some kitchen scales & smaller wine glasses; the big ones are lovely but impossible to put in the dishwasher. Re the Wifi, it kept cutting out, and would come back on after re-booting the router. The router is old, so I would suggest getting a new one from BT. The other option is 'mobile wifi' Mifi. The Three mobile broadband network is faster at Roskill Farm than their BT landline, and cheaper. Or there might be another provider.

The wasps nests were dealt with very quickly.
I have been 4 times already to the Boat house. I would say after all this time it would be nice to have a more modern TV with decent channels to watch. Also a more comfortable chair to sit in downstairs in the kitchen. I have always sat up on the upstairs balcony in the past which if the weather was bad was an outlet. This time I felt it was quite dirty and dusty - for example I did want to put my bag down on the floor. I always love my visits to the Boat house and I did have a brilliant holiday but this year felt it could have been improved a little.

The property is 'quirky' and situated in a very beautiful and peaceful location on a well maintained estate. There are lots of great walks available from the doorstep - around the estate and to the surrounding villages and beyond,
There was no Freeview signal being received by the television (apparently this has happened before) but this in no way detracted or spoilt the holiday as it was far too nice to spend time indoors.
