The Retreat cottage is gorgeous. We really enjoyed our family reunion there. Its beautifully decorated, spacious, lovely views & close to an amazing farm shop, restaurants & great day outings. Evening hot tub a definite bonus. Would highly recommend. Our host, Lisa, was great - very attentive & had excellent recommendations for local sights & things to do. We'll book again.

Communication with host prior to arrival was so easy. We managed to get an early check in and we were in love with the property Instantly. Beautiful location and the property was immaculate. We had some issues lighting the fire for the hot tub but Jamie, bless him was on hand and was a diamond. Watching the stars whilst in the hot tub was the type of relaxation we were needing. The beds were so comfortable and our 2 year old loved all the toys and running about (not to mention watching the Deer from the window). Our only gripe was that the robes weren’t for the larger variety of person… Regardless of that, we will definitely be back!

Wir haben in diesem Sommer zwei Wochen in diesem Ferienhaus verbracht. Es war traumhaft. Von der Buchung bis zu unser Rückkehr nach Hause hat einfach alles gestimmt. Begrüßt wurden wir mit einer Flasche Sekt, frischem Gemüse und Salat und einem komplett vorbereiteten Hot-Tube. Die Vermieter haben uns während des Aufenthalts immer wieder kontaktiert und nach Wünschen etc. gefragt. Alle Anliegen wurden zeitnah und herzlich beantwortet. Das Haus ist riesig und für vier Personen mehr als ausreichend. Es ist sehr sauber, überall gab es frische Blumen. Wir würden dieses Ferienhaus immer wieder besuchen.

When we arrived, we were greeted with our host and his daughter who gave us a little tour of the property and helped us get settled in. We were pretty tired from trip over from the States so it was perfect for catching up rest before we ventured out. We loved all the wildlife that wandered around the property.... deer, bunnies and lots of beautiful birds. Our host, Jamie kept in constant touch to check on us and give us tips of where to go for day trips. We were very comfortable staying there and appreciated all the little personal touches. We would definitely come back!

Beautifully furnished cottage with stunning views. So relaxing and the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time with friends and family. Hot tub set in lovely completely private gardens that are well kept. The hosts are very hospitable and friendly, adding lots of small touches which makes The Retreat so special. Our party was made up of myself and three older children aged 16 to 19 and we all thought it was the nicest place we've stayed in.

Can all of the positive reviews really be accurate? Yes! This is a magical place. Jamie's communication was outstanding. The cottage is comfortable and well appointed. Among our favorite stops were: Gloagburn Farm Shop, Drive up A9 to Aviemore, Dinner at Cairn Lodge, and for me - a day in St. Andrews.

Jamie and Lisa are lovely hosts and prepared the place with so much love and details and even cold welcome treats - thanks a lot! The place itself is great, the view gorgeous and it has lots of kitchen equipment. We really enjoyed our vacation.

The Retreat cottage is gorgeous. We really enjoyed our family reunion there. Its beautifully decorated, spacious, lovely views & close to an amazing farm shop, restaurants & great day outings. Evening hot tub a definite bonus. Would highly recommend. Our host, Lisa, was great - very attentive & had excellent recommendations for local sights & things to do. We'll book again.

One of the most relaxing weekend getaways we’ve had in a long time… great location with close proximity to hiking and restaurants. Will be coming back to stay again.

My wife and I absolutely loved everything about the retreat! Prefect, quite setting. Jamie was a great host. Day trips from the retreat to St. Andrews, etc. were wonderful and restaurants in the area excellent - especially Corrie Inn and Delivino. We HIGHLY recommend the retreat!

Wir haben in diesem Sommer zwei Wochen in diesem Ferienhaus verbracht. Es war traumhaft. Von der Buchung bis zu unser Rückkehr nach Hause hat einfach alles gestimmt. Begrüßt wurden wir mit einer Flasche Sekt, frischem Gemüse und Salat und einem komplett vorbereiteten Hot-Tube. Die Vermieter haben uns während des Aufenthalts immer wieder kontaktiert und nach Wünschen etc. gefragt. Alle Anliegen wurden zeitnah und herzlich beantwortet. Das Haus ist riesig und für vier Personen mehr als ausreichend. Es ist sehr sauber, überall gab es frische Blumen. Wir würden dieses Ferienhaus immer wieder besuchen.

The lodge is picture perfect and hosts are very helpful & welcome pack was very kind. Views are stunning. Hot tub is good fun. Can take about 3 hours to get hot enough with the fire but so worth it. Plenty of logs for hot tub & fire. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We spent Christmas at the Retreat and had an amazing time. Jamie was a very gracious host and the house itself lacked nothing. We would definitely stay again.
