Guest Reviews

We had a fabulous week at Auld Smiddy Cottage. It was in a lovely spot and was really comfortable.

Good afternoon Bea I just wanted to say what a thoroughly wonderful week we've had staying at The Bank. We've really enjoyed staying at such a beautiful home in such an amazing location. Susan has done a terrific job turning this into such a lovely holiday home. The facilities and quality on offer are second to none, from the bedroom to stunningly well equipped kitchen/bathroom. Everything has been thought of and provided and the welcome gifts were a wonderful little gesture. Extremely comfortable living area and really appreciated the thought in providing boosters for the internet in each room. Have stayed in many self catering cottages and this was definitely one of the best. Please pass on my genuine thanks to Susan for allowing us to stay in her beautiful home and feel free to use any of this as reference for other guests. Bernie Hayes

Well what could we say from beginning to end was fantastic. Steve so helpful and accommodating. The Cow Shed 2 went above expectations, so much so we are going back on 2nd June to 11th June this year. It was truly a remarkable experience. Thank you and we will see you soon.
