1st – 8th November 2014

One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in.  Excellent facilities and a really comfy bed!

We had a lovely relaxing week and were lucky with the weather (only one wet day).

Stirling was an excellent day out,  the Trossachs Trail was beautiful, Balloch Country Park was good for a leg stretch, Antartex Village was a waste of time! but  Auchentoshen distillery is well worth a visit.

This is one place we would come back to.
