A beautiful house in a stunning location! Everything is really nicely done inside, with stylish decor, excellent facilities and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The garden was lovely, filled with flowers and with a beautiful view of the hills. Bart was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!

The cottage was clean, spacious and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Location - quiet, but not far from the main road. Plenty of things to do without traveling too far.

There was nothing not to like.

Beautifully furnished and equipped. Very in keeping with the character of the house. Super comfortable beds with linens and wool duvets. The views out the front were gorgeous.

We absolutely loved this house, very spacious, beautifully designed and equipped. Communication with Alex and Bart was very easy and helpful - most recommended and would love to come back.

Honestly nothing, and that's not something we write every time. We chatted on the way back home and both agreed it was quite probably the best place we've stayed.

The cottage has been recently refurbished to an extremely high standard. It's a complete home away from home, and the couple who run it have obviously got a really good eye for style. Everything's been thought out really well, and we could easily have stayed longer than we did. The beds are ultra comfy, the location feels like a proper wilderness, and the hosts are super friendly and helpful - what more could you want?

Would maybe prefer a larger fridge/freezer but fine for short stay.

Great quiet location but very easy to find and access. Lovely views across valley. Cottage was actually much roomier than had imagined from photos. Very nicely high quality decoration and furnishings with a cosy feel. Comprehensive facilities. Very friendly, welcoming hosts who were quick to respond to our queries.

Perfect self-catering cottage, a house really, in a tranquil spot. What needed to be new was new, what was old was superbly maintained. The one disadvantage is that Garve is a bit of a drive from the spectacular spots to the north west, and the house is so comfortable that it makes you want to spend a lot of time in it rather than get in the car

Amazing cottage in beautiful idyllic setting. Spotlessly clean and everything you need for a few days away. Location is perfect if you enjoy being in nature and with a car it's easy to drive to the nearest towns. Beautiful gardens set in the mountains.

Nothing. All perfect!

Beautiful, comfortable and homely cottage. Stunning location. Plenty of walks in area for a peaceful break. Ideal travelling distance to shops, restaurants and sightseeing. Pet friendly too! Hosts very welcoming and helpful throughout!

Loved the wood burner, the way the cottage had been styled and the secluded location.

Nothing, it was all perfect.

We stayed in the next door Thistle Cottage, but my inlaws stayed at Rowan Cottage, and they loved every minute. It is a beautiful, stylish, relaxing retreat. Fantastic beds and linen, brilliant kitchen.

nothing! it’s amazing.

We liked it so much we extended our holiday and stayed longer!! The property is a charming and comfortable retreat in the countryside. The views to the front are over fields and mountains and were lovely to wake up to. The kitchen is a great size and well equipped. We cooked in every night because the cottage was so nice to be in and we felt so relaxed. There is a great family size table in the kitchen as well as plenty of dinnerware and the like. There is a great high chair for the young one as well. In the lounge there is a wood burning stove which was set and ready to light for us (after a quick YouTube search for getting it burning - tip, close the door to the first notch only until it’s roaring). We lit it 2 nights and it wasn’t really cold enough to need it, but the atmosphere was so good with it to sit down and play with the provided board games and books. The furniture throughout was top class and unique and we particularly loved that. Moving upstairs there are two large bedrooms and a large bathroom with a fantastic shower as well as a separate free standing bath. The main bedroom has the great views out the front and a wonderfully comfortable bed with very nice linen, very high quality and had some great sleeps! The second room was set up with two single beds which I assume are as high quality, we didn’t use them as this was where we had the cot for our baby. The cot itself was a proper good quality cot, not a travel cot, which was a nice touch. The property also has a lovely garden out to the front which we didn’t use as we went out exploring every day. The location was ideal for adventuring out to east and west along some amazing roads and we plan to use this as a base again for a longer holiday. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Nothing to dislike.

The cottage is lovely, there is nothing to dislike. Alex and Bart are great hosts, nothing is to much trouble. We added an extra night to our stay as we enjoyed it so much. Thank you both, we will definitely be back xx

The car parking is a little way from the cottage, which means carrying your luggage over a gravel path- no problem for the fit but not suitable for anyone who struggles with heavy cases. The fridge in the kitchen is small for a cottage remote from shops and the dishwasher is not a full-size one. The front garden gives lovely views over the mountains but its use is seriously compromised by the mosquitoes! Additional instructions for finding the cottage would be appreciated by future guests.

This is a comfortable cottage in a superb location for people who like outdoor activities- for example there are great walks straight from the front door. This is a remote location, there are no shops in the village, the nearest is several miles away. This is great for people who value peace and solitude but not suitable for anyone who looks forward to a stroll to the village shop or a meal at the local pub. The cottage is very spacious and well-furnished. There are books to read and all the usual TV facilities. The views from the main bedroom are excellent and the location in the woods is very peaceful. The owners live next door and are always available if you need help or advice. They have equipped the cottage with sustainable heating and, thankfully, haven’t compromised its traditional appearance with plastic windows. All in all, a good place to stay!

The location was stunning, the cottage was really tastefully decorated and, best of all, the overall feel of the place was just so cosy and comfortable to stay in. Would definitely stay here again.
