Simply beautiful.
I moved from Lincolnshire to Scotland to buy a property. While the purchase was going through I stayed in the lodge for 2 weeks.The setting is stunning and the views and walks were spectacular.The cottage is warm, clean, well with everything you could need. The Wi-Fi was powerful enough for me to be able to work from. The welcome gifts were greatly appreciated and the property managers were so helpful and kind. It’s a cottage that I self highly recommend.
