The majority of guests found the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a warm atmosphere. A few guests, however, commented on the need for better mattresses and sofa cushions.

From the minute we arrived and walked in the door we just felt at home. Everything you need for an extremely relaxing and comfortable break. The cottage has been done to a high standard and is an ideal location to explore the "Glens". The hosts were extremely welcoming, simply superb, and just really nice hard working genuine people!!!! We will be back, Drew, Lorrane, "wee Ella" & Alfie the working cockers...
