“Fabulous week”
We spent a wonderful week at Ploughmans cottage. It was a beautiful cottage in a quiet, tranquil setting and was perfectly placed for visits to Loch Lomond, Glasgow, Stirling, Falkirk and Edinburgh. There were barn swallows, a Buzzard and a deer who frequented the area during our stay which were a delight to see. Our host Carol also baked us a beautiful ginger cake to enjoy. I would highly recommend

Response from the owner This lady and her husband arrived at our lovely cottage on our working farm which was advertised as such. Being a vegetarian and her friend a vegan, she sadly had a different opinion than all our past guests, our visitors book will confirm. I wish her all the best for the future.
