Beautiful cottage in Castle grounds
This holiday cottage was everything we had hoped for. Could not believe how spacious it was and our family from Usa said what a find mum! They all enjoyed the walks within the grounds and the quietness . One thing I must say having a baby with us we found the Mackenzie cottage ( also my new grandson's name ! )had a washing machine which was not listed in the brochure, so having booked for a week this was a bonus for all. The staff all perform amazing work who deserve my 5 star review. The Mcclymont's

Renovated Stable Felt Like Our Castle
This property goes way beyond the photos and description. The place felt like home, a well decorated and appointed home. The grounds were beautiful and gave us opportunity for some amazing walks. We just loved it!!
