60th birthday celebration
The property was amazing, immaculate and the surrounding area was stunning
The property had everything needed for self catering with hand soap and loo roll in all the bathrooms
We hired the hot tub which was great there was flip flops and dressing gowns available, the hosts attention to detail was superb
I would definitely recommend this property for larger groups

Great hideaway
We are here visiting Scotland for our daughter’s graduation. We absolutely loved the house and location. The only thing I wish I had noticed was there is an extra charge for the BBQ and hot tub. Would highly recommend! Communicating with the owner was super easy and he was quick to respond.

Beautiful, comfortable, will definitely stay again
A group of 8 of us ranging from 14-64 stayed for 3 nights during our visit to Scotland. The house, property, and surrounding area are just wonderful. Fort Augustis is only 15 minutes away for shopping and dining. Our only issues were that we chose the cottage specifically because of the hot tub and use of laundry, however both the hot tub and the clothes dryer stopped working on us on our last day. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the property to other visitors.
