Loved absolutely everything! Amazing location, stunning green lush view from the decking, with lovely sounds from the burn (river). Exceptionally clean and everything you need to be a home from home

Fiona, UK

We loved the location in the middle of a Glen a few miles from the Sea front. Easy access to the main road and 15/20 mins from major towns

Richard, UK

Wow ! Just Wow ! The location is so peaceful and in the middle of lovely countryside. You enter the cottage and the decor is just wonderful and a credit to the owners Vic & Greg.

Neil, UK

The cottage is in a really peaceful location, about 3 miles from Ballantrae which has a co-op and a very affordable garage for fuel. The cottage has everything you need - the owners have really thought of everything. It’s very dog-friendly with poo bags and dog bowls. I wouldn’t hesitate to return again.
