Situated on a main road with walkable access to local shops and excellent public transport links, as non-drivers this really suited us!
Judy and Adrian were able to accommodate an early check-in for us which was perfect as we arrived straight off the sleeper train at about 8am. Adrian did a whistle-stop tour of the house and made sure we were perfectly comfortable and set up for our exciting 4-day stay.
We came up for Hogmanay and the location was ideal, as it's an easy 20-30 minutes on the bus.
The cottage itself is stunning, a real find! The interior is an eclectic mix of modern fixtures and rustic antiques. Perfect for a couple after a romantic getaway. It's extremely well-equipped with two TV's, wi-fi, electric oven, microwave and every board game you could think of. In fact if there's something that you'd normally pack for a self-catering trip away, best check with Judy first as she's probably already got it!
Although it's not in walkable distance of any restaurants, we did do a couple of cheeky takeaways which were very nice, they found us with some careful directions and we avoided disturbing our lovely hosts next door!
My only regret is that we didn't have a chance to explore their picturesque gardens - they sounded like fun but with such activity-packed days and with the sun going down at 3.45 each day [December], we didn't find the time.
I would welcome any excuse to come again!
