Summary: Modern, clean. Friendly Landlord. Stunning and calm surroundung.
Sarah W. Feb 19, 2025 03:02:35 PM
Summary: Lovely well-maintained property, works well for wheelchair user. Good location for visiting the area- we had a fantastic time staying here!
Kate M. Jan 1, 2025 08:10:53 PM
Summary: Our hosts were very welcoming, answering and questions and giving us a farm tour. The house itself was lovely, even better than the photos and with a fully decorated Christmas tree (we stayed over new year). We made good use of the fireplace and dad very cosy nights in. Would recommend to everyone!

Summary: By the end of our stay, I initially decided against writing a review despite unpleasant interactions with the host, Thomas. The property itself was spotless, well-fitted, and had a Christmas tree for our festive getaway—a thoughtful touch we appreciated. Leaving a review that would effect the property's rating seemed a shame.However, during check-out, Thomas doubled down on his unpleasant behaviour and I felt compelled to make our experience known.Upon arrival, he made disparaging comments about previous guests, which felt odd and very unprofessional. I brushed it off, but the following morning, he banged aggressively on the door at 9 AM, berating us for bringing a cat. Although we had selected “4 adults, 1 pet” during booking, he claimed cats didn’t count as pets. I apologised for overlooking the dog-only policy and offered to resolve any issues, but he threatened legal action for damage which had not, and never arose to occur.At check-out, he berated us again for not rearranging furniture, despite previously saying we could arrange it however we liked. After returning home, I found a 100 charge for a key which we accidentally had in a pocket, a punitive amount considering we could return it easily. Thomas’ attitude left us feeling unwelcome and inconvenient. I'm in disbelief that a host could speak to a guest the way we were spoken to while being nothing but appeasing. I cannot recommend staying here and hope never to encounter another host like Thomas.

Summary: House is beautiful and perfectly laid out for a wheelchair user. Extremely comfortable and felt very homely with lovely decor. Lovely bedding and comfortable beds. Highly recommend. Would love to go back.
Sara N. Sep 30, 2024 07:04:14 AM
Summary: We had a brilliant time at The Byre, Boghead Farm. It was everything advertised and more, peace and quiet and extremely beautiful surroundings. The hosts Thomas & Fiona went above and beyond to accommodate my disabled mother. We will definitely be going back and would definitely recommend it.
Alyson H. Sep 25, 2024 01:43:08 PM
Summary: We were bery lucky with the weather so enjoyed breakfast outside. Very relaxing scenery
Chris N. Sep 15, 2024 09:10:17 PM
Summary: Clean Perfection. Idyllic farm location. Has it all, including short distance to main road to loads of interesting places.
Susan W. Aug 13, 2024 04:12:21 PM
Summary: We were very happy during our week at the property. The location is stunning. As a wheelchair user, the accessibility was good, although some of the furniture and narrowness of the hallways made it hard to navigate. I was very disappointed that I incurred an additional charge of £20 (after departure) for an alleged mark on the wall, which can only have been caused by my wheelchair. If the owners had given me the opportunity to clean this to their satisfaction rather than applying a penalty after we had departed, I would have happily done so. Disability is full of hidden costs!

Summary: Lovely accommodation
