April 11, 2015 by in

We’ve had a lovely week in your very homely and cosy cottage.  Everything was so clean and tastefully furnished!

Weather has been glorious and we’ve enjoyed visits to Loch Lomond, Helensburgh, Aberfoyle and Blair Drummond Safari Park (which was the highlight of the week for our little boy!).  He wasn’t so sure of the Easter Bunny when he met him on Sunday!

Thanks for making us feel so welcome!

Best Wishes, Paula, Colin and David
