A very enjoyable stay at Polgarrie. Really felt like a home from home with lots of character, a mix of modern and old. The property was really spacious and the location was amazing. Wonderful views with beautiful walks and nature all around. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby. We had to extend our stay due to weather conditions and Kate was extremely helpful throughout. We would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Fantastic stay in beautiful property
We had a fantasic stay at Polgarrie with our two children, 10 and 6. The property was bright, modern and well equipped. The views from the main living room are stunning. There was lots of exciting things to do with the kids. The kids loved the walk up the Struie, playing in the river and having the freedom to roam. A highlight was seeing the salmon jumping at the falls of shin. We will definitely visit again.

Our first stop in Scotland after our wedding and it was a relaxing, quiet and beautiful area for starting our trip. Clean and pretty home, clear communication and lots of great day trip options from the house. Recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a beautiful spot.

Polgarrie is in a lovely secluded area and provides spacious accommodation. A few areas of the house including kitchen and bathrooms need modernising and redecorating but the lounge with big picture windows is a lovely space in which to relax. The garden is a great space to play for kids and dogs although the rough grass area is a challenge so would be better fenced off. We got used to the track in and opening/shutting gates but worth noting it is a good five plus minutes from the main road and low vehicles would struggle. Overall we had a lovely time at Polgarrie, thank you.

Remote stay
The property over all is very nice. The pictures online appear to be a modern house on a farm. The house has lots of natural light. The house is actually older with great views. The house needs some cosmetic updates. Everything worked fine but it shows it's age. The driveway to the house is dirt and gravel for a long while. Our car for hire was a BMW M3 and did not do well with all the rain. The car sat very low. Location was great for day trips all along the upper NC500.

An absolutely amazing holiday. Gorgeous home from home. So peaceful and the perfect place to allow all of your stresses to fade away. We did not need to use the fire due to the property being warm and cosy. Very clean and beds were perfect. Will be booking again. Many thanks to the owners.

Wonderful cottage in the beautiful Scottish countryside! You will be surrounded by sheep, cows, incredible sunrises and sunsets. We loved staying and were heartbroken to leave such a magical place. Owner was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Kate!
