Ideal Scottish Cottage

Exactly what we were looking for. A bit remote but gorgeous surroundings. Rustic chic looking but with modern amenities. Epitome of peaceful and cozy. Hosts even provided a Christmas Tree!

Absolutely peaceful!

We loved our stay! Close to everything Edinburgh and surrounding area has to offer. Lots of pubs and restaurants to choose from that were only a 5-10 minute drive away. So much space for our family of 4 and such a cozy cottage. The view out the back door was everything we could have wanted. Extremely easy and smooth check in and check out. We were looking for a quiet retreat to finish off our month long adventure in the UK and this cottage was everything and more! We would definitely stay here again!

Great view, very quiet and beautiful surroundings. The hosts were wonderful at answering questions in a timely manner. The cottage is well kept and clean. I would definitely recommend staying, but suggest bringing wash rags and watch your head getting into bed. Due to the chilly weather keep the doors closed in the rooms you would like to keep warm.

small cosy house in a prime location

We felt very comfortable. The opportunity to use the oven (wood was provided free of charge) is great. The location is top. 1 hour to Stirling, Perth, less to Falkirk, Glasgow and Edinburgh. 30 minutes to the airport. I think we'll be back.

hallo, zusammen mit meinen erwachsenen Söhnen habe ich diese Unterkunft für 10 Tage gemietet. Mit Auto perfekt um sowohl Edinburgh als auch Glasgow zu besichtigen, als auch zum Meer und in die Highlands zu fahren. Es ist alles da an Kochutensilien, um sich selbst zu verpflegen. Ich liebte den holprigen Weg zum Cottage, wir hatten einen SUV gemietet. Es ist alles wie auf den Bildern beschrieben. Die Vermieter waren stets erreichbar und vor Ort und trotzdem nicht da, sie hielten respektvoll Distanz. Danke für die wundervolle erholsame Zeit.

Die Unterkunft liegt wunderbar idyllisch und ruhig und bietet schöne Ausblicke auf die umgebende Natur. Es ist sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Küche ist hervorragend ausgestattet. Auch die Betten sind sehr bequem.Der Anfahrtsweg ist zwar etwas steinig, stellt aber kein großes Problem dar. Vom Bahnhof in West Calder aus (ca. 15 Min Fahrtzeit) sind sowohl Glasgow als auch Edinburgh bequem mit dem Zug zu erreichen.Insgesamt eine wunderschöne Unterkunft, – ideal für alle, die Ruhe, Natur und eine stilvolle Unterkunft in Stadtnähe suchen.

Besondere Unterkunft in toller Lage, sehr ruhig und guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Der Weg zum Cottage ist schon das erste Abenteuer! Gemütlich eingerichtet mit allem, was man braucht. Sehr freundliche Vermieterin die sich sofort um Probleme kümmert. Einzige Kritik ist die nicht immer funktionierende Spülung einer Toilette.

Wij hebben een mooie tijd gehad in dit huisje dat van alle gemakken voorzien is en rustig ligt. Mogelijkheden om met de hond te wandelen zijn er genoeg maar wel altijd in de omgeving van schapen of koeien.

Beste Erholung in herrlicher Umgebung

Süßes kleines Häuschen in sehr ruhiger Lage mit toller Fernsicht und unmittelbarem Zugang zum See. Wanderungen unmittelbar ab Haustür möglich und Städteattraktionen (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling u.a.) sehr schnell per Auto oder Zug erreichbar.

Tolles kleines Cottage

Unsere Woche in diesem Häuschen war wirklich schön. Es liegt sehr ruhig und die Auffahrt für über einen großen See. Wirklich verrückt. Das Häuschen ist sehr gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Blick morgens über die Weiten von Schottland war traumhaft. Ich würde das Haus auf jedenfall weiterempfehlen wenn man die Natur mag. Ein absolutes Muss ist aber ein Auto. Damit sind Edinburgh und Glasgow in 45 min gut zu erreichen.

Sehr gemütlich, perfekt ausgestattet

Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Haus ist gemütlich eingerichtet, sehr gut ausgestattet. Der kleine, sicher umzäunte Garten war perfekt für die Hunde. Nette Wege für Spaziergänge, direkt ab dem Haus. Glasgow, Doune Castle, Stirling und Edinburgh waren gut zu erreichen und wir waren abends immer froh, wieder in unsere ruhige Oase zurückzukehren.

Great Family Property

We loved this place, especially the proximity to Sterling Castle, Edinburgh, Pentland Hills, Deanston Distillery, and privacy. This stop was a prefect yin to the yang of busy London (our other stop). We were also pleased with the beds, most VRBO's we've stayed at in the past have cheap beds, these were comfortable. There is a cool little shop (the size of my office) close by that has local foods that we all loved. Great to drink fresh bottled milk from cow that gave up the good just the day prior.

Fantastic Property

We recently stayed at the cottage for a family wedding. It was chosen on location, amenities, other reviews and it didn't disappoint! It really did tick every box and this made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. It is a dog walkers heaven with stunning views everywhere you look. The owner even booked an added surprise of snow! It is definitely somewhere we would like to return one day
