A great week spent here. Really cosy, log fire in the lounge. Kitchen really well equipped and so spacious we had a little dance but that was more down to the pink gin we took. Bedrooms were very comfy and the bathrooms were all very clean. Would definitely go again.

Well situated Holiday Cottage in Superb surroundings. Like most of the local cottages they show signs of age, and are surely hard to upkeep. Still a great way to spend a few days in this picturesque location.

We had a lovely family holiday at Old Glenstocken in September last year. The house is huge, comfortable, secluded and quiet. Would love to go back again.
