What an amazing place! Balintore Cottage is in such a lovely setting and I wouldnt hesitate to book again. Our kids (5yrs and 2yrs) had a fantastic time running around the large grass area which goes all around the cottage while we managed to get a few minutes to sit still on the bench and look out over the field. Then just past this area there are paths in both directions to amazing woodland walks where you can stay on the path (wellies and waterproofs if its wet!) or explore into the forest - our kids loved looking around and finding things in the forest to play with and climb on. There are no visible neighbours so we felt comfortable that we werent disturbing anyone when the kids were running around. We didnt see any animals as they were probably scared off by our noise but when the kids were (occasionally) quiet, we heard lots of birds so Im sure you would see more if its just adults visiting! We were told about the squash court and other things that we could have used very close by but we had too much fun exploring the forest to get around to doing anything else! Inside the cottage was so cosy and well set out. We loved using the wood burner after being out in the forest all day. And then the bed downstairs (either king or super king) was so comfy and cosy. The kids just loved being up in their bedroom playing in their own little space and the beds were perfect for them. The kitchen was really well equipped so it was really easy to cook a proper meal! The whole trip was fantastic and we had a little car trouble which Alex was so helpful with and really saved us! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we hope to have the chance to come back to visit soon!
