Ducklings Rest Reviews

Rosalynd
We had the most amazing week at Duckings rest - everything was perfect and the family that run Peels Farm are so friendly and approachable. If nothing else make sure you get some of the home made bread and scones - 100% next level
Michael
Great location for golfers and walkers. Very handy having a coffee shop + farm shop next door.
Stephen
Quiet, tranquil and relaxing, we enjoyed watching the harvest and wild life from the hot tub The cottage was very high standard and the hosts were very helpful
Joanne
The old bothy was a fabulous place to stay, the owners have thought of everything and certainly have an artistic eye to detail. Loved every minute in this accommodation and would happily return anytime. It was located near several eateries and even though it's a good 7 miles from the nearest village you could still get a good take away delivered. FRead moreabulous location, the cafe and shop on site a huge added bonus and the staff were superb. Hide
James
The cottage is first class and has everything you need, the host Claire is brilliant and the bonus of it being close the farm shop and cafe. We will definitely be back thank you for an excellent holiday.
Stuart
If I could rate this higher than 10/10 I would. Setting is idyllic, accommodation very high standard with everything you need. Lots of little extras too like milk in fridge, biscuits, sweet treat in basket and local lime curd. Utility room with washer / dryer which was very useful when weather was poor and also a hot tub which was thoroughly enjoye d and very relaxing looking out into the countryside. Coffee shop , gift shop and nature trail all fantastic too with great service.
Stacey
A great cottage in the middle of the Scottish countryside! Tranquil and quiet and furnished to a high quality and standard. Waking up to the view of some of the animals was great! They have a farm shop and cafe which we thought was reasonably priced on site also. We had a lovely relaxing week away from our normal lives and we would definitely recom mend this place!
Stephanie
We loved our stay! Peaceful, tranquil and beautiful stay. Pics dont do justice to the high standard the property is done up to - just enjoying the windows out to the cows and hills are lovely. Very accommodating hosts who promptly brought over more towels when we asked. Cant wait to visit again.
Anne
We have just spent a long weekend here and cannot recommend it enough . The cottage was beyond our expectations in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The owner was very helpful regarding check in and we loved the cafe being on site. The coffee , cakes and scones were amazing . We loved the outdoor cabins where we could sit with our dogs when it wasn t too warm outside . Definitely one of ( if not ) the best self catering cottages we have ever stayed in. Will be back next year.
Lesley

Alison
A fabulous cottage that is spotlessly clean. Beautiful accommodation in a great location. Loved it!
Barry
Amazing barn conversion giving you everything you need from a holiday home in a beautiful location
Julie
It was a very nice comfortable property, plenty of room, it was very cosy and warm, it is a very quiet place so it is very relaxing, great place for nice walks with the Reekie Linn Falls and gorge not far along the road in the car. The hot tub was good, they have done there best to make it private with fencing but it blocks out the view a bit, alth ough you can open the side panel/gate for more of a view. It is quite open to people passing to the other cottage and from the pods. Nice cafe.
Jackie
Lovely location, comfortable cottage. Nice and quiet. Would recommend for a family with children.
