Perfect spot

Such a lovely house in the centre of Falkland. Easily big enough for ten of us (4 adults, 6 kids) with a quirky layout thanks to the age of the building! Lots to do in the area, Falkland Palace is a must with very knowledgeable staff, and there a beautiful walk through the woods, complete with Victorian tunnels and a path behind a waterfall which we all loved.

Fabulous stay!

We were a 3 generation family of 10 ranging from 8 to 80! We had a fabulous time at Whinstone. Excellent communication. Although there is a good range of photos of the property, we were surprised by just how spacious it was.

Lovely property in beautiful location

We really enjoyed our stay. There were 11 of us altogether;7 adults and 4 children. There is a playroom as you go inside and this is a bonus when holidaying with children. There was plenty of room with a lovely lounge to socialise with family. The facilities are really good and if you don't fancy cooking there are pubs nearby. We dined at the Covenanter which was excellent.

Great house in beautiful village

The house is quirky, lots of stairs, so could be a challenge with small children. Kitchen needs a few more items to meet expectations. Comfortable rooms & beds, great to have so many bathrooms. Location is superb in the centre of Falkland.
