Cottage was well stocked with essentials and a nice hot shower. Walks straight from the front door, kids loved exploring the old mining valley. ##### Susie J. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Arlene A. 25 Sept 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### To Be Avoided There were issues with obtaining the checkin details in a timely manner. Property only superficially clean set in a not very pleasant location with an appalling access road. The boiler was extremely smelly and there were no instructions for the heating. Towels were totally inadequate in this day and age. ##### Arlene A.

They only things I could fault was no mirror in the bathroom…… plus I didn’t think equipment wise the kitchen was equipped for 4 people…..Plus no manuals on how to work the washer/dryer plus microwave…..Also in the other twelve cottages we have stayed in they have always had basic stuff ….. ie salt pepper there was nothing except washing liquid ….. regards Danny ##### Daniel H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roderick B. 19 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Very Comfortable Overnight Stay Having stayed in Wanlockhead for a week at the end of June 2021, this property seemed like an ideal overnight stay during a house move from the the South Coast to Aberdeen. Within easy distance of the M74 and very peaceful. Loved the bold décor. Excellent nights rest , the downstairs bed was very comfortable and the property spotlessly clean. ##### Roderick B.
