Langside is cosy, comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is on a main road which is great as it's walkable for shops and eating out. Garden is a bit tricky if you have mobility issues, but if not the table at the top is a wonderful spot for a cuppa or playing the guitar.

Disappointing to arrive and find a neglected front garden, it was overgrown, path covered in moss and it looked as if the front door hadn’t been used for quite a while, it felt derelict, not a good first impression for a holiday let! The entrance gate to the rear of the property requires a catch that works and some general TLC. 38 uneven steps to the picnic bench at the top of what was classed as a terraced garden, its more like a steep irregular incline. The property internally could do with some redecoration in some areas. On a positive note the property was clean, it’s doggie friendly, it had a well equipped dining kitchen and nice bedrooms. It was handy for visiting all local attractions, good walks, train station within walking distance, good butcher and cheese shop. Would recommend the Sugar Bowl for food.
