Guestbook for Keepers Cottage
We enjoyed the peace and quiet and wildlife around the cottage, a beautiful setting, we hope to come back next year.
It must be the best place we have been to in Scotland, so many Distilleries and Golf Courses nearby, also we didn't have to entertain the children, they loved exploring and making dens in the woods and dams in the stream
Eddie, Sandra and family.
This is the place to get away from it all, so private and such a beautiful setting, we saved a fortune by taking the dogs with us instead of boarding them.
