The place was spacious and located in a dreamy setting. The hosts were fantastic people, making our stay even more enjoyable. If I had known it was this wonderful, I would have stayed longer. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable experience.

The property was just to our taste and Phil and Jude were so friendly and accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for better hosts! The area is beautiful and fairly quiet. A few lovely walks nearby. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries after a fairly difficult year. Would definitely come again!

Quality property and accommodation which had a homely and comfortable feel. Very spacious and well equipped. Arrived in the middle of stormy weather but despite this the house was warm and the double glazing ensured we had a tranquil and restful weekend despite the weather. Sunshine bathed the property on our last morning and provided a real feel of the potential for balmy summer days (weather permitting) Really handy for Gorebridge station and rail trips into Edinburgh which was one of our reasons for choosing the property. Plenty of options for meals and shopping within 10 to 15 minutes of the property.
