My boyfriend and I had a lovely time together at the cottage. The hot tub was great! The duck was a great surprise! The cottage itself had everything you needed(oil, salt, pepper, tin foil, hand soap). Even couple robes.

This wonderful cottage was like entering a dream. Lovely special touches with everything needed. Perfect few days to relax and fully take in the beautiful surrounding areas.

Lovely peaceful stay for a long weekend. The cottage was excellent and the hot tub was lovely - great setting, with a wonderful view from the tub during the day as the property is on a small hill. Would stay again!

Doug

A beautiful cottage, with an even more beautiful view. The hot tub under the stars, or even during the day to enjoy the views is worth it. Everything you need for a self catering break away from the huddle and bustle of life.

Neil

Great location, great views, very clean cottage with all we needed

Wayne

A well presented property, clean and tidy - recommended

Alexandria

So peaceful, my little piece of heaven. Views are amazing. Short distance to Biggar nice country walk there. Very comfortable bed and clean cottage. My dog was with me and was welcomed. If needing a taxi best to book it. Suggest a visit to New Lanark it was amazing ! Host always helpful. Sandra

Bethany

Absolutely perfect and relaxing getaway. Hot tub was amazing and the bottle of bubbly in the fridge was such a lovely and kind touch. The cottage has everything you could need in a beautiful setting. We can't wait for our next visit :) Beware Google Maps will try to take you to a cottage by the same name in Castle Douglas (even with full correct po st code for this cottage) pop Biggar into Google maps and follow the wee directions in the welcome/itinerary email and you'll be golden.

Susan

Lovely clean property , ideal location for a quiet relaxing time, didn't see a soul while there, only a short walk to the village,

Lisa

First class stay at Knowehead View. The cottage is in a remote location with absolutely stunning views. The hot tub was definitely the highlight of the stay for us. It was set up and ready to use on arrival. The cottage was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Towels and robes were left out for us, complimentary drinks and cakes left. These added touches really made it feel like our home during the stay. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

Hayley

Lovely place to stay, nice little town a short walk away and not a bad drive into Edinburgh. Hot tub was really lovely in the evenings! Thanks very much for a nice comfortable break away.

Jodie

What a beautiful cottage, a home from home. Very clean and cosy. Hot tub, WiFi and Netflix were definitely touches that made it for us. Hosts left some alcohol in the fridge for us as we arrived at New Year. Has all of the amenities you could possibly hope for when self catering. Dogs loved the walks, would recommend woodland area by the Big Red Ba rn, only a few miles from cottage. Lovely farm cafe there. Two lovely takeaways close by, scenery and farm life was great to see. Would stay again!

Kevin

The cottage was really clean, well equipped and and comfortable. Located on a farm, there were lovely views over the surrounding countryside, which were even more enjoyable whilst lounging in the hot tub with a nice glass of wine. The owners were living nearby and always available if needed. A nice holiday location especially if you are looking for a bit of quiet time.

Alison

Lovely week away in the Scottish Borders. Cottage was very well equipped. Hot tub was so relaxing with stunning views of the countryside. We will definitely come back in the future.

Graham

Beutiful cottage in a lovely quiet and peaceful location with fantastic walks. Great choice of shops and eating places in Biggar and friendly locals. Went to Peebles for the day, it is not far and worth a visit. Kirstyn the owner was really friendly and helpful and a a nice bottle of wine in the fridge on arrival was very welcome. Our highlight was the hot tub and the sunsets which were amazing. We would definitely recommend staying in this cottage

Ken

Beautiful place, clean and with a fabulous view. The hot tub was wonderful and was a highlight of our stay. The cottage itself was spotless and very pleasant. The only gripes were not getting instructions from the owners until the day we travelled and finding out then that dogs aren't allowed in the bedroom. Otherwise, we had a lovely, peaceful tim e and our dog loved it as much as we did. We hope to come again!

Alan

Perfect size for two with a dog - brilliant for walkers, runners or cyclists

Jacqueline

The cottage was in an ideal location only a mile and half from Biggar while having gorgeous views over both Tinto hill and the Pentlands. It was clean and well equipped to make for a very comfortable stay. The hot tub was a great little extra and we made the most of it by sitting in it to watch the sunset each evening. The owners were good enough t o check in on us the first night and leave us their mobile.
