Easter stay

My husband I took our family visiting from overseas and had a lovely stay here - the house was clean and cosy, and it was situated in between Edinburgh and Glasgow/Loch Lomond so we were able to cover both cities for sightseeing. The non-stick pans were very scratched, so I had to buy a new pan to cook in - but outside of this, it was perfect! Would absolutely stay here again! 5/5!

All I can say is fantastic

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this fantastic two-bedroom apartment that truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, our host Ken welcomed us with warmth and hospitality, ensuring that we felt right at home. Providing help with local transport links and answering all off our questions. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated, blending modern style with cozy touches. The living space was spacious and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a long day. Both bedrooms were well-appointed, featuring comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. The natural light pouring in made the entire space feel bright and cheerful. One of the standout features was the fully equipped kitchen, which made cooking meals a delight. The host provided thoughtful touches like fresh coffee and snacks, which were a lovely surprise. Location-wise, the apartment was conveniently situated only a 15min drive to the tram and then easy access to Edinburgh. Overall, this apartment is a hidden gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, this is the perfect place to stay. I can’t wait to return!

Wonderful Christmas weekend with friends

We had an amazing weekend stay at Shieldhill Farmhouse. For our friends' Christmas gathering, the house was warm, comfortable, entertaining and even had a cute Christmas tree. The roads are dark at night but the driving instructions were super clear so we could find it without issue. The house was well stocked with amenities (plenty of glasses, plates, towels, etc) and the welcome basket was a great touch! We will certainly be looking to stay again and couldn't recommend enough.
