The location and property were great. Upon entering the property, I noticed that the side door to the left of the pool table was not locked - just an FYI.The constructive feedback that I had was the pillows were terrible and we found a pair of eye-glasses and a bracelet down the side of the lounge (which wasn't cleaned properly).
What better place to bring families together under the one roof! We had a great family reunion and Sophie's Farmhouse helped create the atmosphere for conversations and family memories.
Nights by the fire, pizza making, walks, runs and lots of simple moments making lifetime memories.

Thank you Angela for your 5-star review. We are happy to hear how well your family reunion went and you made such wonderful memories. We hope to welcome you back next time.
Beautiful house for our purposes great location could have been cleaner dust under lounges and on skirting boards. Pillows just awful and cookware needs updated. We did enjoy our stay

Thank you Matilda for you leaving your review. We are happy to hear overall you enjoyed your stay despite the issues mentioned. We hope your daughters wedding was a success.
Sophie’s Farmhouse was a wonderful property for our Easter getaway. With 16 adults we had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to choose from. The house is large and has everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. Large kitchen and dining area works well for large groups and there is an outside dining area also. Having an enormous commercial refrigerator as well as a large refrigerator in the kitchen was amazing as we bring so much food and drinks - so loads of space. Really enjoyed the fire pit and pizza oven. The cement furniture may be practical but lacks a feeling of relaxation so we don’t use it. The outdoor furniture near bbq and pizza oven were dirty and had bird dropping on them as did the other outdoor tables which I cleaned off - there was lots so it hadn’t been cleaned for some time. The pool table is old and needs replacing - scary cob webs in the pockets. Darts are also a bit tired. The area is beautiful with lots of farm animals and walks. Easy communication with stayz although the wifi issue wasn’t resolved - that needs updating for sure.Handy location to all of the Southern Highland villages. We would definitely return to Sophie’s farmhouse again and had a fantastic Easter weekend away - our 28th one together.Great property for large groups and families.
