We stayed 3 weeks which is a long time, everything was clean and we had everything we needed. We were not able to change the sheets as there were no spare and we had to get a second set of towels as there was no dryer to dry them after washing and they would have not been nice to use after drying on the horse. Otherwise, a lovey apartment and definitely would recommend staying at this location. ##### Mairi M. Stayed 21 nights in Dec 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi 20 Nov 2025 #### Great accomodation and even better location! A smooth booking process with Clark Anderson and clear instructions on how to enter the property etc on the day of arrival. The property itself is fab! Location was 10/10\. Looking forward to staying again. ##### Jodi ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Moffat Manor Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Manor-Country-Park.h17709438.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [The Longforgan Coaching Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-The-Longforgan-Coaching-Inn.h13501042.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenisle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Glenisle-Hotel.h2810774.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Melfort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Loch-Melfort-Hotel.h520255.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow East Kilbride by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-East-Kilbride.h520428.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen of the Loch, Balloch by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Queen-Of-The-Loch-By-Marstons-Inns.h33716771.Hotel-Information) > > [Auchrannie Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Auchrannie-Resort.h4140916.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hideaway Experience](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-The-Hideaway-Experience.h15754543.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels-Lochside-House-Hotel-Spa.h900570.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Glasgow-Hotels-Gleddoch-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h1502522.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tarbet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-The-Tarbet-Hotel.h13407451.Hotel-Information) > > [Portavadie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tighnabruaich-Hotels-Portavadie.h11974275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Portpatrick-Hotel.h13430754.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Huntingtower Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Huntingtower-Perth.h859382.Hotel-Information) > > [The Busby Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Busby-Hotel.h10004759.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh - Queensferry Crossing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Queensferry-Crossing.h1152983.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromlix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-Cromlix.h1580309.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Kilbride-Hotels-Seamill-Hydro-Hotel-Resort.h1818213.Hotel-Information) > > [Bowfield Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstone-Hotels-Bowfield-Hotel-Country-Club.h1796965.Hotel-Information) ---
