Fabulous cottage. The bed was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Lots to do in the local area with our dog. The hot tub didn't bubble very much so was like a warm bath. There were no instructions so could be user error. The only complaint was having to clean up dog poo from the doorstep most mornings (not our dog).

A real treat, the best self catering facilities, we have had, and we’ve had loads. Everthing about the accommodation was great, it was extremely clean, including dishes, pots etc, we left it the way we found it, so thank you. Hot tub and enclosed garden was amazing, our little jack Russell loved being outside off the lead. WOW! WOW! A terrific R and R week, just what we both needed. Family live close by so it was nice having them for a visit. We CANT wait to come back , our new favourite place to stay in this area.

We really enjoyed our stay along with our Springer Spaniel at Little Arches. The barn is in very peaceful surroundings but within easy reach of Glasgow and Loch Lomond. We spent a lovely afternoon at Semple Loch which is only five minutes away by car. We had everything we needed for a cosy, restful week away.
