Mr Lynch, Bonnyrigg, Midlothian
Sep 2007 | The welcome - the property was well presented, warm, lights on, loads of info on the local area, items in fridge, biscuits. Most of all the owner left Easter eggs for my children. She also popped round the Sunday night to make sure we were ok.
Was very impressed.
Mr Clydesdale, Lanark, South Lanarkshire
Apr 2007 | The owner had gone to a lot of effort to make the cottage feel very welcoming. All the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The fact that the cottage had a multi stove burner made it particularly attractive. The cottage is very well located in Newtonmore, which is an excellent base for walking and exploring the Cairngorms.
Miss Sirett, Manchester, Greater Manchester
Apr 2007 | The Lea Rig is the best cottage we've ever rented, purely because of the care and attention the owner had clearly given to it's presentation. We arrived to a warm cottage with table laid and lamps lit, and instantly felt welcomed.
Victoria Simmons, Keighley, West Yorkshire
Nov 2006 | We were not only very pleased to find the cottage very clean and welcoming we also found the table set and wine available, together with other items in the fridge. It was all very good. We were very pleased to stay and in many ways we felt very much at home.
