Summary: The Keeper's Cottage is a real highlight of any holiday. Its remote location surrounded by incredibly stunning scenery, is super relaxing and blissful. It has all the mod cons but also a feeling of living off grid. We loved the isolation and seclusion the property offered and enjoyed many walks with our dog. I highly recommend a stay at Keeper's cottage.

Summary: Lovely clean cottage with everything you need, set in a quiet rural setting, lots of nice walks and plenty of fishing, the road in is a bit bumpy it’s a rural country road, you have to drive slow but worth the drive for the secluded location the scenery coming in was amazing.

Summary: Cottage was very dirty inside. My partner went out and bought £12 worth of cleaning products to clean inside cottage before we unpacked. He then spent an hour cleaning inside property. The settees were all dirty and stained, we moved one of cushion pads and underneath was all ripped, and covered with dogs hair and crumbs. We did not take a bath in the property because even after my partner scrubed it with bleach, it was still too dirty to go in.. There are all rust, and limscale marks around sink and the bath. We opened one of bathroom cupboards and the amount of dirt that was left there was appalling. The toilet was all stained and the only water that came out was dirty and brown. The bed sheets were dirty and stained, we went and bought a new quilt, pillow and mattress protector, not to use the dirty one that was there. We didn't do any cooking because the chimney flue on raybarn cooker hadn't been cleaned (for god knows how long) Was dirt, grease, and bits of burned on food at bottom of shelves. Microwave had burned, and splattered food still in it. My partner and I drove 13 hours to get to this place, The location was perfect (when we finally got there) wrong postcode on booking sight (kw12 6up - not the kw12 6ur stated) extra 40 minutes drive away.. I was very disappointed with the cleansines of the cottage - even more so due to the corronvirus epedemic.

Summary: The cottage is in a fantastic situation and is very cosy. The power is via a generator so on arriving at the cottage this seems a bit noisy but once you are inside you don’t really hear it. The raeburn stove keeps the cottage very cosy and is great for cooking. There is also a microwave, toaster, kettle and small, very effective, fridge with a large freezer box. The forestry road into the cottage is an adventure in itself and definitely not for low cars. We even took the train one day for a wee trip which was fantastic. All in all I thoroughly recommend the Keeper’s Cottage if you want to get away from it all, walk through great scenery for miles and do some wildlife spotting. (We saw, eagles, ospreys, deer just to mention a few). Also brilliant if you like fishing. We’ll definitely go back.
