Liked: Beautiful cabin with everything you need and more. There's even board games and books for you to use. WiFi was great as was the location, plenty of beautiful walks near by. Enjoyed watching the horses with my morning cuppa.

Liked: Lovely conversation, really unique and had a lovely kitchen setup, was good value for money. The two heaters where more than sufficient and where warm throughout even on a cold wet March day. Wifi was good! And really dog friendly! Would recommend. Great location!
Disliked: The shower on both mornings (we only stayed 2 nights as a stop off on the way to Scotland) was freezing cold and didn't work at all, kept flashing red and going to the cold selection (not human error not sure if the shower was faulty?) if we stayed longer we probably would have mentioned it to the host but for 2 nights we just went without, we also had to buy drinking water as the drinking water tap was either to slow or didn't produce any water at all.

From the manager: Thanks for the review and glad to hear there was lots that you liked. We live on site and always happy to help with problems. On investigation we have discovered that a temporary loss of pressure caused the shower thermal cut out to be triggered which we can fix if notified, we have also changed the filter on the drinking water feed. The property is on a private water supply and we are upgrading the system to complete by end March to avoid any loss of pressure but this hasn't generally caused any issues and was a temporary problem per other reviews. Sorry we couldn't get involved to fix it for this visit. We are also introducing a dedicated patio/garden area for the Cabin in March for the Summer season, photos to follow.

Liked: We liked it was a nice remote location. The view was beautiful. It was a lovely place to stay, with comfortable bedding and heat options so we had no reason to be cold. It has all the facilities we could have needed. We visited some of the lakes and would happily stay again to do some of the higher ground walks.

Liked: The cabin was amazing! So cosy! It was clean, excellent layout to have a big bathroom, kitchen and bed all in the same space, it even has WiFi (which we only used to stay in touch with family back home... It was too good to just sit on our phones the whole time). They even had the heaters on for us arriving as we stayed in January and it was cold! Amazing access to the lakes, beautiful scenery the whole experience was amazing!

Liked: I loved everything! The space was just right: a good sized kitchen area, the bed was comfortable, there was enough seating to relax, a wee table to eat dinner at, and a lovely view into the farm. The location was also excellent as I was able to do loads of walks straight from the door without having to drive anywhere. Also: Louise, the owner, is super lovely and helpful. I had an issue with the shower and she fixed it right away!!! Will definitely be back!!
Disliked: Bring your own hot water bottle for colder nights!
