Quite simply - brilliant. Incredibly well maintained, modern, clean, great mix of spacious areas with some a little more ‘cosy’. Something for everyone, we had one in our party as young as 2 and one as old as his early 80s! Would love to come back at a drier time of year to make more use of the outside facilities. We might just well do that in 2027!…

Lovely property, absolutely spotlessly clean, well stocked kitchen,
Had an early Christmas for the family, the house was decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch. 14 of us stayed, plenty of room for everyone, swimming, sauna and hot tub were all well used.
Will definitely return for another get together with the family.

We had the best time at Scotgate. We booked the stay as a surprise staycation for my dads 60th and the cottage had everything we needed from the pool to the endless activities and sport equipment. The communication with the owners was also smooth and accommodating when we needed some guidance with heating. The property was well equipped and it shows that every small detail has been considered. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you!
