“A fantastic bungalow”
We've just returned from a week's stay here (28.07.22- 04.08.22) and absolutely loved it. We would definitely return in the future, when visiting Scotland again. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we needed, it's very well equipped. The views were absolutely stunning and the neighbours (a field of sheep!) were great to 'talk' to, my 2 young sons loved them. We were a party of 6, made up of four adults andtwo children we felt we had lots of space and were very comfortable. The beds were really comfy and I'm super fussy, so this is saying something. We absolutely loved our stay here, John was so helpful and answered all my queries, making this stay super easy to book and finalise. Thanks for a great week.

“Scotland”
I stayed in this lovely bungalow for a week with my husband and parents . The views were outstanding and the bungalow itself was like home from home, clean, spacious lovely garden and would definitely recommend. It was so peaceful which we loved away from the rat race. A week relaxing. But plenty of places to visit if you wanted to.
