What a beautiful house, what a beautiful landscape, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The directions on how to get there could be a tad more precise. But that's less than a minor nitpick, and once you arrive you wouldn't want to be anywhere else anyway. If you plan on staying here do consider that it takes time to get from here to literally _anywhere_. It wasn't a problem for us, on the contrary, because we relished the relaxing drives through glorious landscapes. But if you have impatient kids in the backseats or don't like driving, The Auld Kirk might not be the best fitting option for you.
