This was our first family trip to Scotland and was a great base for us to explore the surrounding area. The Barn was like a home from home with everything you'd need to make the perfect holiday, despite the mixed weather. The kids particularly enjoyed the trampoline and after a busy day sightseeing settling down to take control of Netflix!

Really lovely barn- everything you need is there-comfortable furnishings-lovely hosts & great location. Some really good walks. I would suggest the hot tub needs a privacy screen as totally exposed to the working farm, the refurbishments going on, & callers/guests to the main house. Otherwise, it's great!
