"I am writing to let you know how much I enjoyed my recent stay in your house in Oven Wynd.
I thought it was delightful – such a clever use of space – and such wonderful workmanship. I particularly loved that big top room with its views, and overall the house is very welcoming and had everything we needed.
We made some great expeditions – you are perfectly situated for walks, sightseeing and exploring the fabulous countryside around. One of the highlights was a drive to the village at the end of the Pennine Way. A short walk from the pub (where we had a very good lunch) took us up into the hills where we could enjoy stunning scenery. And another plus was being within easy reach of Edinburgh.Many thanks for a wonderful break." Marcia May 2011
