Fantastic short break location

The Stables was very well equipes, clean and tidy. Had we been at a warmer time of year, we would have made more use of the gardens. Great location for walking. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away for a few days

Wonderful cottage - a gem not to be missed

Stable Cottage is an outstanding property. It was clean, spacious and so well equipped with everything we needed plus more. The beds were so comfortable. The owners made us feel so welcome and the little extra touches were very thoughtful. The seating area on the upper deck and the garden were just right for relaxing after a day out.

Peace and quiet

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was lovely and welcoming, tastefully decorated and well equipped. The owners are obviously keen gardeners, so the view from the window was beautiful. There was a good choice of places to visit Abbotsford House, Threave House and gardens, to name but two. The weather was good for us, it usually isn’t, so that was definitely a bonus. We would recommend this area and property to anyone who doesn’t want to take the long drive to the Highlands.
