Obviously there was something wrong with it and nothing was saying d to us. The neighbour who knew nothing about treating water was just pouring chemicals into the tub. Nothing was measured.

Great property location for exploring South Scotland and the hot tub was an amazing addition to come back to after a day exploring. The property could do with a little updating but as you spend so little time there it is perfectly adequate.

Lovely cottage and spotlessly clean, the hot tub was heavenly and the pool table a welcome extra. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend this place to anyone. The owner also left lots of little extras for us on arrival - a lovely gesture to further compliment this holiday
