The house is in an excellent location with a range of amenities close by. The house was as advertised. It was extremely spacious and an excellent location to spend time with friends. Many of the comments in the guest book give indications of what could be done at the property to improve the experience further. Information about the house and arrangements were not to hand and these would also improve the experience.

We loved our stay in Haugh House. The location is excellent, the house very spacious and well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed our day trips to local distilleries and Brodie Castle, followed by a bbq outside or a cheese platter by the wood fire.

Lovely, big house in beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay here immensely.However, it could do with a bit of TLC, particularly the shower cubicles. The bin situation is also not ideal - mostly impeded by the fact the council only empties them every 3-4 weeks, so if you're staying during a week they're not emptied, you can't put them out even if they're full which they were for us, so you're relying on the people staying the week they are emptied to put them out! Perhaps the manager should just do it!
