| Previous Visitors' Comments | The property was modern, clean and well maintained. There were plenty of places of interest to see. Culzean Castle and Kelburn Castle were particularly interesting. Great places to eat are the Fairlee Arms and, for something a bit posher, the Sorn Inn.
Mrs Slack, Rochdale, Greater Manchester
Jul 2008 | The owners could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel very welcome. The cottage was first class and even better than the excellent photographs in the brochure.
