Customer Reviews of Cottage near Airth, Stirlingshire - Sleeps 4
"Amazing- a place to go back to over and over again."
We arrived to be greeted by the owner, who took us on a brief tour of the cottage and facilities. There were many personal touches, eg farm eggs, biscuits and various cleaning aids sipplied, which meant that we didn't have to buy more than we had taken. The rooms were perfect for our family, with plenty of storage/hanging space. The cottage is on a farm so surrounded by farm life which was pure bliss. We did have quite a few creepy crawlies, but to be expected on a farm dwelling. Overall, a really great holiday in a lovely cottage, close to Falkirk and Stirling - would definately stay there again if available. Highly recommended.

"Really friendly and comfortable"
Everything was fine ; the location is a little bit noisy (the highway is pretty close). Very easy to go to Stirling and Edimburgh (use Park & Ride !)

"Wounderful venue and welcome"
The cottage was all we expected and more. The welcome we had when arrived could not have been better. It was very good location for traverling around to look at the different sights. It was my sons first vist to Scotland and the cottage made the stay for him.
