The property is very comfortable and well equipped. No need to worry about small things as itâs well thought out and everything is provided. It is a peaceful setting but a car is essential. We love the tranquility of it but with a car everything is easily accessible. We had a day in Edinburgh. The station just a few minutes away. The journey just over an hour and very reasonable. Local beaches, country parks, gardens and places of interest are plentiful. We canât wait to go back.

They took a real pride in their cottage. It was lovely. It was warm and welcoming. It had everything you could have wanted. Everything in it was of high quality. The area is outstanding with so much to see and do. We had the most wonderful time. I would recommend this cottage highly. Thank you Bilton Barns!
