The property was large, comfortable and well- equipped for our family (15 people). The property manager provided a walk through tour of the property on our arrival and was easy to communicate with prior to our stay and throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

Dumbarton mansion

We came to this property with a small team of athletes to compete in a taekwondo competition. This property was perfect for the team to stay together. The house is very spacious and had a peaceful vibe to it. There was plenty of room for all ten of us. The neighborhood was beautiful and felt very safe when out and about. The kitchen had everything we needed and the amount of bedrooms was perfect for our needs. This a very beautiful house, with lots of space inside and out. The hosts were wonderful, as well.

Dumbarton

I had 5 family members in a spacious and clean mansion. Although historic, the interiors are modern and comfortable. The host is available and responsive to our needs and concerns. I would definitely book again on our next golf outing Ed Boughal

A fantastic stay in a beautiful mansion

We had 12 family members staying at this beautiful Victorian mansion. The host was helpful with anything we needed and the home was more than we could have imagined, even better than the pictures! The home was extremely well supplied with all possible needs. The kitchen was a treat to cook in, it was stocked with more pots, pans, dinnerware, cooking utensils dish towels, etc. than I have ever found in a rental. The bedrooms were large and the beds and pillows comfortable. There was enough room in this house that we didn't bump into each other and if we wanted some quiet time there were plenty of places to enjoy that as well. None of us wanted to leave when our time to depart came. We had a fantastic time in Scotland and staying in this historical mansion certainly added to it!

Linda and her whole family were impeccable guests. It was an absolute pleasure to meet them all. They demonstrated the up most respect for the accomodation and left the property immaculate. I've never seen a dishwasher stacked so precise and neatly!!! We would have no reservations hosting Linda and her family again and would recommend any other host do the same.
