We have just spent a wonderful weekend at Saffron.
We have just spent a wonderful weekend at Saffron. There was everything we needed and more and the enclosed garden was perfect for our 3 legged dog. Although, unlike the rest of Scotland, we were unaffected by snow it was very windy and wet while we were there, it did not affect our enjoyment and we hope to return when the weather is better.Glasgow

Great sized property with plenty of space outdoors.
Great sized property with plenty of space outdoors. In a great position on a hill around 10 mins walk to the harbour. Next door to the golf club.
House had an over abundance of kitchen equipment which was a bit overwhelming.
While the beds were spotless a bit more attention to detail in the cleaning were required.
Perfect for a quiet holiday.
