A perfect cottage in a perfect location! Very friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. The cottage itself was very comfortable and homely and had everything that I needed for myself and my dog. There's a village around 2 miles away which had a general store and coffee shop. The surrounding area was very peaceful and had great walks for the dog. I couldn't fault anything and would definitely recommend.

A small but beautifully appointed cottage in a peaceful location in the Scottish countryside. The hosts, Linda and Jimmy, were very kind and helpful throughout our stay, they were happy to chat when we saw each other. Would highly recommend Blueacres to anyone wanting a quiet getaway place with stunning views. The cottage was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely book again.
