    Great rental properties are the offspring of thought, care, and love. It was our joy to discover that Rowan Cottage was one of those.

  • Chris

    Had an absolutely superb stay and would reccommend this to anyone who is looking for a group getaway!

  • Daska

    Theres everything and more in terms of equipment for catering. The layout is beautiful and everything was clean and the bedrooms super cosy with comfortable beds. Outside the seating areas are perfect for the amazing views especially when sat in the hot tub. Pure bliss. Really stunning location, peaceful yet close enough to take day trips to the more touristy places in the lakes. We were really touched by the basket of goodies that were waiting for us on arrival including fresh bread, preserves, eggs, butter and milk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already recommended to friends. We would love to come back again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
