We were provided with everything we needed. The Farmhouse was extremely clean and well equipped. The owner called to see us to make sure everything was satisfactory, which it was. The Farmhouse is situated in the most beautiful surroundings and we were able to just 'chill out'. The area is also full of places to visit. We would recommend the Scottish Tapestry. We would also recommend this Farmhouse to anyone who was looking to visit the area.
