Sehr gemütliches Cottage. Unkomplizierte Schlüsselübergabe. Sehr sauber. Alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Sehr nettes Welcome Package. Praktische Lage: Wir haben Tagesauflüge zum Loch Lomond, nach Stirling und in die Trossachs gemacht und haben jedes Ziel innerhalb einer halben Stunde Fahrzeit erreicht. Auch Glasgow wäre ähnlich schnell erreichbar gewesen (das wäre unsere Regenwetter-Option gewesen, die wir glücklicherweise nicht brauchten). Mit dem Auto erreicht man auch den nächsten Supermarkt in 4 Minuten. Es muss einem aber klar sein, dass man zu Fuß nichts / nicht viel erreichen kann. Sowohl WLAN als auch die mobile Datenverbindung waren eher unterdurchschnittlich gut. Wenn man sich die Mühe machte, innerhalb des Cottage eine gute Position zu suchen, reichte es aber problemlos für nötige Urlaubsrecherchen (Wetterbericht, Öffnungszeiten etc.).
