Debbie

The accommodation was first-class, very modern, neat and tidy. It was in an excellent location for shops, restaurants and pubs which were within 5 minutes of the property. We booked primarily for the location and hot tub which didn't disappoint and which we used often. We were able to drive to many places of interest easily from this location. We w ould highly recommend this accommodation.

Jan

All the fittings and fixtures are modern, tasteful and luxurious. Instruction manual is very detailed to help you use everything properly. Beds are large and comfy. A short walk from the Main Street for restaurants, bars and shops. Some nice little extras such as chocolates, coffee and a cake left for you to sample. We paid a bit more than we usual ly would for a short break but it was worth it.

Lynne

Fantastic house. The location is perfect, just on the edge of town so close to all amenities but overlooking the park and loch so feels quite open and country. The "upside-down "style makes for great views. The hot tub was great for relaxing after a walk. Kitchen well equipped and a lovely welcome basket.

Jackie

Excellent accommodation with superb equipment etc provided. Balcony a great sun trap.

John

Lovely apartment, great views over the loch. Nice hamper and flowers.Lots of places to eat out. Friendly locals.

Well deserving of 5 star rating - apartment was stunning and close to everything you could need .Our labradoodle puppy loved the park and balcony area and never stopped tail wagging lol .Would definately recommend well worth a return visit plus hot tub was amazing x

Geoffrey

The view from the living room over the park and the loch is stunning when you first arrive and never ceases to entertain changing with the the light and time of day.

John

Excellent accommodation having been recently refurbished. Had everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen. The welcome pack was appreciated, particularly the cake!! Soaking in the hot tub after being out for the day was very enjoyable and relaxing. It was nice to sit on the veranda and look out over the park and loch. The property is in a quiet location but also very handy for the shops. I can recommend Mr Pooks for fine dining and Carlos Italian restaurant was brilliant.

Robin

This is a lovely property in an excellent location overlooking the lock and minutes walk from the town centre. Carefully decorated to a high standard you will Not be disappointed. The welcome basket was wonderful. Far better than we have received elsewhere.

Donald

The levels of comfort and equipment of this property were outstanding. We were totally impressed with the care and expense that has gone in to preparing this property for renting. Cleanliness was faultless. The location was perfect with the town just a few moments away on foot and there was easy access by car to the rest of the area. The outlook fr om the living area over the park to the loch was a pleasure and the hot tub was a bonus. We also liked the thoughtful welcome pack.
