Liftingstane farmhouse was excellent, clean and with everything we needed, a home from home. Plenty bedding and towels. Kitchen also well equipped. Well catered for our dog, with bowls, poo bags, treats and towels. Worth mentioning that dogs aren't permitted in the bedrooms, which we weren't aware of from the website.WiFi was a good speed which was an added bonus as we needed to work remotely for a few days, plus EE 4G signal was good in the area too. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful, and popped in to make sure we had settled in ok and had everything we needed.
Would yous again in fact will try to book for 3 weeks time

Having been given great directions by the owners via text we arrived at liftingstane Farmhouse and were not disappointed!!
The photos of this place don’t do it justice it’s huge and in a beautiful setting, we arrived to a very clean and tidy house with everything we could need,
We had an amazing week 8 people and 2 medium sized dogs, enjoying ample space in all rooms of the Farmhouse and especially the very large kitchen/dining living area great for all the family to spend quality relaxing time together and especially playing board games we bought with us.
Even the dogs were well catered for Blizzard and Bailey loved their treats .
Stopped by house to unload. and then had ample space up the back for parking and turning .
We enjoyed lots of fantastic days out in the area
walks
beaches
Castle’s
shopping
ice skating
And also Relaxing and chilling in Farmhouse would definitely visit again and if you have a larger group they also offer 2 further cottages that sleep 5 and 4 .

Everything we hoped for and more.
Everything we hoped for and more. Clean as a whistle, luxurious, spacious, warm, with room for the whole party, and a delightful snug for escapees. The welcome from Jock and Ali was delightful. they were on hand when needed, and otherwise discreetly in the background. As the organising host-person, I appreciated the hotel standard touches and extras, (shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms, eg) but even more the thoughtful provisions, like sofa-throws for dogs, the tray for muddy boots, the washing machine tablets, bin bags. Cant recommend this highly enough.
