I didn’t have much communication from the hosts as didn’t need it- only downside was getting told off for putting the radiators on. I couldn’t get the towels dry overnight for a shower the next day- weather was too wet to hand them out and they wouldn’t dry in the cottage. ##### Mandi K.

Wir verreisen seit 10 Jahren mit 4 Kindern und haben jedes Jahr Ferienhäuser genutzt, haben also eine Menge Erfahrungen gesammelt. Dieses Ferienhaus ist das beste und perfekteste jemals gewesen. Perfekt ausgestattet, wahnsinnig gemütlich und die perfekte Abrundung für einen tollen Urlaub in Schottland. Robert und Paula sind die perfekten Gastgeber, die alle Wünsche möglich machen und uns nicht nur mit Ihrer professionellen Art begeistert haben, sondern auch menschlich. Absolute Empfehlung von uns!!!!! We have been traveling with 4 children for 10 years and have used holiday homes every year so have gained a lot of experience. This vacation home is the best and most perfect ever. Perfectly equipped, incredibly comfortable and the perfect way to round off a great holiday in Scotland.
