Sep 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful cottage and area Laghead is a beautiful cottage in a superb location, although a car is a must there are walks from the doorstep. The cottage is ideal for walking or cycling holidays. We would definitely return ##### Alan B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Pippa R., Bristol Aug 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning views in a peaceful retreat We had a fantastic two weeks staying in Laghead cottage. The views from the house and garden are simply stunning and we were very lucky with the weather allowing us to see for miles and sit in the evening for scenic drinks. Very quiet which suited us and a great base for exploring the area. A strenuous but rewarding cycle in the morning to get the paper in Gatehouse of Fleet (2 and a bit miles down or uphill!). The cottage is very clean and well laid out and the garden perfect for our dog who began and ended each day with patrols of ‘his’ perimeter. A very enjoyable holiday. ##### Pippa R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurence Evans Aug 19, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place Terrific location and well equipped house.
