My husband and I rented Harmony House for our wedding trip to Scotland. My parents and brother stayed with us. The home is absolutely beautiful and the gardens the same. You are walking distance from shops, restaurants, and site seeing. There is a delicious cheese shop down the road we walked to many times. One thing to be aware of is there are a lot of stairs. So someone with a walking disability would not be able to stay in this home. The bathrooms are all upstairs and not on same level as main living rooms. All the bedrooms are also on 2nd and 3rd floors.
