Lovely location with great walks round the estate.
The "Other" guest type reflects that we are married but are neither "young" nor retired. |
|
The only issue is the pheasant shooting which took place in close proximity to the cottage: one peg was very close to our parked car and the Gun was firing directly over the roof of the cottage. At the time I was sure that this was safe enough, in fact the Gun was an excellent shot, but upon reflection the use of a firearm close to a cottage that might contain young children or a dog is not a good idea. Children may become upset and the typical family dog won't respond well to gunfire. It only takes one incident or publicly made complaint (e.g. a review on a travel website), however unjustified, to damage the reputation of the estate for ever, so I would recommend the removal of the peg from beside the cottage. Keep the shooting clearly separate from the holiday cottages - it will be heard but should not seen from a cottage. |

Liked.....Location...,quality of accomadation. |
|
Some of the ceiling lights were not working and only one bulb available.
I also think country cottage holidays may be able to do something about the walkers that walk within touching distance of the first floor bathroom window,maybe a fence or other?It is quite intrusive. |

We've stayed in 14 cottages over the years and this one is equal first with one other for facilities but easily the best for location. After an enjoyable holiday we often say we would love to go back in this case we will definately return. The welcome basket of food was very much appreciated. |

Difficult to improve excellence. |

Fabulous location, amazing views, really secluded and private. Excellent facilities, comfortable luxurious accommodation. Welcome basket of goodies! |
|
The property was advertised as having an open fire. This was in fact one of our search criteria. However, although there was a fireplace there was no grate or ash pan, no fuel and no tools (poker, tongs, etc) so it was pretty impossible to have a fire! We were really disappointed about this as it was one of the main reasons why we chose this property.

Fantastic holiday residence in a truly wonderful 'million dollar' location. The view alone is spectacular and worth every penny.
The house is luxuriously appointed and has some of the most comfortable beds in the whole of Scotland, (and I can say that as a veteran of many uncomfortable Scottish holidays in back breaking beds).
The peace and quiet, the wildlife and the tranquility of the estate makes this a cut above most Scottish holiday locations. |
|
Some light bulbs had failed and replacements could not be found in the house, but other than that minor niggle, everything else was of a very high standard of cleanliness and tidyness. |

THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE A LOG BURNER OR FIRE OF SOME SORT IN THE LOUNGE THE BEAUTIFUL FIREPLACE WOULD SHOW IT OFF TO PERFECTION. |

Peace and tranquility abound. We were fortunate as to weather, but it is hard to imagine it making a difference. Completely charmed. |
|
Condiments limited to salt and pepper--we would have been glad to replenish an existing supply of vinegar or basic spices. |

Beautiful setting
Clean and has good facilities
Glad we can take the dogs |
|
Sky box needs updating
Wood on boathouse and decking needs painted
Lots of people wandering around the property while we were there, which spoilt our stay as we had assumed given the price of our stay we would be afforded a certain amount of privacy
Gardener came to cut the grass while we were there meaning we had to stay indoors
Dog bowls and old towels would be helpful |

The view from the house, the setting, the quality of the furnishings, the feeling of comfort and the beds, most unusual for Scotland, really comfy |
