“Last year when we were searching properties for our next sojourn north of the border we stumbled across 'Gaidrew'.”
It was a little bit more than our budget allows but it was in an area of Scotland that we hadn't explored before. When reading through the previous reviews, I must admit we thought, "Really? The cottage can't be THAT good!" Nevertheless, we decided to give it a go. To say that it it is as good as the previous reviews would be be doing Fiona, Gill and Crawford, aka 'The A Team', an injustice. If Venice Simplon-Orient Express, Cunard, or for that matter Carlsberg did holiday cottages, 'Gaidrew' would be up there with them. The quality of the furnishings, the equipment, the fittings and the attention to detail is simply outstanding. Not to mention the most comfortable bed we have had the pleasure to sleep in away from home, ever! To stay in a place like this with 90 acres of farmland where you can wander freely with 400 sheep for company is heaven. There is even a little nature area set up by a burn that feeds into Endrick Water, the river that runs through the farm, where you can sit quietly soaking in the peace and tranquillity with the company of the deer. There are plenty of walks either from the cottage or a short drive away to take in the breath taking scenery. An unforgettable holiday, thank you.
