I liked it all. The hosts had great hospitality and were very friendly. The farm is a wonderful experience. The sheep were lambing and that was a great learning experience. The area is gorgeous and a perfect example of the Scottish country living.

Felicity United Kingdom

We couldn't get over the Size of the place when we walked in. And the views are beautiful I enjoyed a cuppa tea out there in the mornings felt relaxed. They are great hosts with towels and linen provided etc. Hairdryers, Cleaning products and the tea coffee and sugar cannisters filled. All cooking equipment is available. With the Internet access being really good too. We brought our 2 dogs with us and the walks around the area are lovely.

Laura United Kingdom

Fantastic hosts, lots of info given on places to go with the kids on the farm and local area. The kids loved getting up close with the animals and free to run and play in the fields they even got a wee ride on the quad to go check on the lambs and a peak at some new born ducklings. Petted the horses and ted the sheep dog was such a sweetheart. Truly peaceful and with dalscone and mabie farm parks just 30 mins away amongst plenty other things to do close by id highly recomend it and will be returning.

  • Hi, Is it the whole house that is for the holiday rental or is it shared with other people?
    Hello, The one bedroom self catering anex is private and not shared with other people. It is located just over the farm drive next to our house. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Philippa

  • Would you like payment by card or cash when we leave? Thank you. I'm only asking because the last B&B asked me for cash the day before we left and there wasn't a cash machine for miles and then I had a limit on withdrawal, so it caused a bit of a headache. Thanks Julian Coates
    Hi Julian, we take payment from your credit or debit card on arrival if that's OK. We look forward to welcoming you on Monday, Best wishes, Philippa

  • Hi there, I am hoping to book a stay with you guys in the next month or so, but wondered if there was an additional charge if I'm bringing my dogs with me? Also, is the surrounding areas on for walking dogs off lead? Thanks
    Hi, We do charge for dogs, £10 each (maximum of 2) for their stay. There is usually an empty field dogs can run in away from the farm animals and poultry. The ground has plenty of rabbits which may be a consideration if your dog takes off in chase?

  • Hello Does the property have a washing machine please?
