We visited the Highland Games and a few nice festivals. The historic house offers a lot of room for a big family. We loved the games, the library and the home cinema! Thank you for having us.

Read More...We had a wonderful stay. The house is big and cosy and has a nice vintage feel to it, and it is within walking distance of the town’s stores, restaurants and the sea. We enjoyed our long walks on the nearby beaches. Edinburgh is very easily accessible. And last but not least: we were lucky enough to cross paths with our kind hosts Stefan, ?? and their kids, and they are a very nice and welcoming family!
