Well appointed with all the amenities we could want, and more. Spotless throughout, plus a very comfortable bed. The most beautiful setting in a storybook village!
I came here to see and experience where my great grandmother was born, and was overwhelmed with the beauty of this very special place!
I will never forget Rowan Cottage and Wanlockhead!!
The most unhelpful owner/manager I have evr come across in 45 years of staying away.
Property was only superficially clean but reasonably well appointed. The location left a lot to be desired.

ACCOMMODATION OWNERS BEWARE
The properties were that bad you booked for your return journey knowing full well the location and the properties. The feedback you have left says more about yourselves then the properties. We have very good feedback and our cleaners take great pride in our properties. Fortunately we don’t have to deal with guests like you very often. You were abuse and over demanding from start to finish. Please don’t come back.
