Fantastic time away for our Mum's 80th birthday wirh three generations. The house was amazing.....all the bedrooms were lovely, really well equipped kitchen with everything thought of, multiple living spaces to suit everyone and the view from the conservatory was stunning. Walks, runs and swimming in the lochan were enjoyed and we truly felt we had got away from everything.

Magical weekend away with the family celebrating my birthday. The house was well equipped for large family or group gatherings in the kitchen areas and the bedrooms spotlessly clean. The main lounge was a treat to light the fire in the late afternoon and relax (unfortunately we didn't get the best of weather), however we had a good time , totally remote away..the lochan was lovely, maybe try and get back when the weather is better, to take advantage .
