Beautiful Sterlingshire.
Beautiful location, plenty to do nearby and when the weather was poor, there was the health spa. Slightly disappointed the squash court pictured in the website gallery has two pool tables sat in it (sacrilege to any squash player!)

The excellent view from the apartment. The welcome package with dishwashing tablets and cloths and utensils. The apartment was well equipped and had everything you needed to cook a meal. The apartment was cosy and clean. We did feel the pricing of the meal at the bar was expensive for what you received and wasn’t value for money. On the whole the staff were nice and friendly. There was an occasion when we arrived at our apartment and the smell in the apartment was not to our liking, we made a staff member aware but there was no suggestion to help remedy this which we feel would have been good service. Overall, we would be happy to come back.

Stayed in the self catering lodges and it looked like something out of a care home. Furniture dated back to the 60’s and a musty/damp smell throughout. Shower screen was hanging off, bath panels were hanging off and the drawers didn’t have runners so were lying squint. The WiFi only worked in the main living room, and at this it kept cutting out. We weren’t allowed to book breakfast or dinner as it was kept for hotel guests. Poor attitude from staff, false advertisement of lodges and just an overall disappointing stay.
