Very nice accomondation, especially the Hottub is a plus. Elaine was very welcoming and helpful with any questions/Problems.
We will certainly come back
We spent 3 nights at this cosy cottage over New Year. Elaine was a fantastic host, very friendly and happy to help with anything. The cottage was very clean and cosy with everything we needed. The hot tub was a bonus which we very much enjoyed.
All descriptions spot on. We have had a great stay, Elaine our host was so lovely and couldn’t do enough to accommodate some unexpected plans during our stay. Elaine alone is 5* +. Lovely cottage and spotless, quiet location. Looking forward to our next stay.

Thank you for the great review it was lovely to meet you. Take care x
Great little get away, definitly recommend! Elaine was great when explaing the check in process and directions on how to find the property, really friendly. Will definitly be back
We had such a wonderful short break. The cottage was spotless, very spacious (both inside and out), and had everything we needed. Some lovely, thoughtful touches. Very comfy beds. Plenty of seating space in the living room. Our little dog loved the huge garden (which is completely secure) to do zoomies in, and we loved the hot tub!
Elaine and her family were fantastic, so lovely and helpful, and answered our queries really quickly.
I would highly recommend this lovely home! Thank you Elaine and family Xx
Had a wonderful stay at Elaine's super clean cottage. Elaine is lovely, such a kind host. The place was ideal for myself and my daughter, great location, quiet and peaceful, with parking right outside.
The king bed in the master bedroom was perfect and the single bed in the other bedroom was also comfortable. The bathroom had a shower over the bath, which had great water pressure and plentiful hot water.
Everything we needed to make a meal was included in the kitchen, plenty of cupboard space, microwave, hob, oven, fridge freezer, cafetiere as well as a washer, so you can pack light. Elaine left biscuits, tea, coffee and porridge for us, which was a lovely touch.
The hot tub was a real treat, nice to relax in, despite the unseasonably cold and wet August weather, (tip-bring flip flops and a dressing gown).
We were in town for a skating event at the local rink, so we didn't have the chance to sight-see, but the cottage is ideally placed for trips to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. We can however, recommend "The Mint" in Coatbridge, great restaurant, highly recommend a meal here.
The cottage is such a lovely place, we hope to return next year. Thank you Elaine
We had a wonderful time at the cottage. Elaine was a wonderful
Host, met us when we arrived showed us how things worked.
Enjoyed the hot tub. Close to shops and transit. Comfortable cottage lots of space, lots of windows to let the light in. Comfortable beds.
We found Elaine’s property to be just right for our family of four. We used it as a home base to get out and around the area: Hamilton, Falkirk, Ayrshire… the home was comfortable with everything we needed for cooking in and living comfortably. The decor is pure Scotland and we particularly liked the sun room and back garden for sitting and visiting. Happy to highly recommend the place!
Arrived at the property for a short break with my two children. Absolutely amazing service from the hostess who even came to the property to assist with the hot tub and gave us some fabulous places to visit.
The property was lovely, clean, tidy and perfect for us. We were so sad to leave.
Will deffo be returning !!!!!

Hi Lucy, thank you for the lovely review and for looking after or cottage. So pleased you had such a great time. Take care xx
Fabulous cottage - immaculate and very well equipped. Owner was lovely - very friendly and welcoming (even turned back after passing us on the road to show us around when we arrived!) Lovely location for getting out and about during the week and the hit tub was very amazing after some log walks!
Highly recommended, definitely one to return to.
We booked the cottage as a get away for a few days. The booking process was easy and Elaine was very quick to reply to any quereys we had. The cottage is wonderful with loads of space in the 2 bedrooms and massive living/dining room. To top it off the hot tub outside is fantastic.
Stopped for a few days but could have stopped longer as its hone from home.

Thanks Jenn and Danielle for the great review. Delighted you enjoyed your stay and thank you for looking after our cottage. Hope you enjoyed Loch Lomond 😊x
The property was very clean and really well presented. Elaine was a great host - she came to greet us when we had arrived and made sure we knew how to work the hot tub and had information/recommendations on the local area.
Overall a great stay, we feel very rested afterwards and the hot tub was an added bonus.
A fab place for a relaxing weekend with friends. Elaine came to show us round and gave us info of a walk and takeaways. Hot tub was amazing and the Lilly Loch definitely worth a visit for a walk. Would definitely come back here for another weekend away.
I stayed here with my two friends and we had a great time. Beautiful cottage and hot tub ws great. Elaine was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed.
