  We had an excellent 3 nights in the Tower, everyone loved the high quality of the furnishings and decor which were in period. The rooms were all spacious and comfortable and the beautifully decorated stairs and hallways/landings plus the use of the red drawing room made us feel as if we were staying in our own stately home. The kitchen was well equipped and modern although a microwave might have been useful. The estate team were very helpful and even provided us with a bbq to use in the magnificent front garden, what a stunning location to have a family meal! The only reason I've given a rating of 4 stars and not 5 is that when we booked Penninghame's website needed to be updated as the Tower rooms had been reconfigured, this caused a lot of confusion but issues were resolved promptly and I believe the website will be updated soon. Overall a fantastic stay, thank you.

  Shinnel House is een prachtige locatie. Middenin de natuur, en omringd met een enorme tuin waar je heerlijk in kan wandelen en spelen (de kinderen genoten ervan om steentjes in de rivier te gooien of dammen te bouwen in het beekje dat midden door de tuin stroomt). Er zijn altijd een boel vogels te zien vanuit de keuken en er is een prachtige kamer met een groot raam vanwaar je heerlijk op een regenachtige dag kan lezen en naar buiten kijken, of je ochtendyoga kan doen alsof je middenin de natuur bent. Wij hebben erg genoten in ieder geval. Het huis is van binnen ook heerlijk ruim en gezellig ingericht. Er zijn ook genoeg boeken aanwezig om je niet te hoeven vervelen. Wij raden Shinnel House van harte aan als plek om Schotland te ontdekken en op de dagen dat je niet op stap bent heerlijk van het huisje en haar omgeving te genieten.

  We've stayed in a lot of self catering holiday cottages in Scotland and this was well below the standard we are used to.

  There was a leftover dog toy which obviously belonged to a previous visitor under one of the chairs which doesn't give you much confidence the place has been cleaned thoroughly. The beds (and a lot of the other furniture) were old and worn and not that comfortable. Bedding and linen was fine but the beds need replacing. The bathrooms were also in need of an update, very basic and a bit shabby looking. There is a lovely big garden but the only outdoor seating was an old bench and table, it would be nice to have some proper outdoor seating so you can make the most of the garden/eat outside of the weather is nice. The cottage was well equipped with all the basics and location was great but some investment is needed to upgrade the furniture/bathrooms to make this a more enjoyable holiday cottage.

  We had an incredible stay at this stunning holiday property!

  From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how high-end and beautifully furnished everything was. The property was spotlessly clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable, with a log burner that added a perfect touch of coziness. The location was absolutely ideal, offering both tranquility and convenience to nearby attractions. What truly set this place apart, though, were the owners. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel at home right away. Their local knowledge was invaluable, and their recommendations for things to do and places to eat were spot-on. It truly felt like a personalised experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway!

  The decor and facilities in the cottage are now very tired.

  This is typified by significant mould around both shower enclosures. (which is actually visible in the cottage publicity photos). The crockery and glass has numerous pieces which are chipped and therefore unsanitary. The cleanliness of the cooker and glass doors look as though the cleaning has been rushed, for example an unwashed pan. There is a poor overall smell in the cottage, probably old cooking smells, necessitating the purchase of fragrance candles. The positioning of the cottage although very close to the village is let down by needing to walk along a non side pathed grass verge. This means any visit to the excellent hotel has a less than pleasant walk back All in all not the best of places to stay.
