Fabulous property! Spacious and well laid out rooms, with everything you need. Property was spotlessly clean. The owners were so helpful and obliging. A welcome pack was left for us which was a lovely gesture. A very relaxing weekend, with the hot tub and sauna making it even more perfect. Would highly recommend!

I initially contacted George to enquire about parking and he responded immediately with reassurance and advice. On arrival we were met and offered any assistance we required. The house is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and a perfect getaway for families. We recieved a welcome pack, that was extremely generous, even treats for our dogs. ToweRead morels and bath robes were provided for all our family. The sauna and hot tub were set up perfectly with outdoor lighting. Hide

Amazing place with a view, well thought out , the surrounding farms and access to highland was really great. The showers and en-suite was really convenient, the hot tub is abit far from the house so you most likely freeze getting back indoors all wet. The house was really nice overall

This was the first time spending Christmas as a family. We wanted for nothing, the level of detail was exceptional. Hosts were incredibly accomodating. The property was fabulous and created amazing memories for the family.
