We had a lovely time at Kirroughtree. Such a perfect location and the accommodation was outstanding. Such a spacious and comfy home. We really enjoyed the surrounding area too, despite the terrible weather. Saw red squirrel and a herd of fallow deer ..... so special. Owner was very helpful too! Thank you for sharing a little piece of paradise.
