The perfect stay!
We had the best time at Scotgate. We booked the stay as a surprise staycation for my dads 60th and the cottage had everything we needed from the pool to the endless activities and sport equipment. The communication with the owners was also smooth and accommodating when we needed some guidance with heating. The property was well equipped and it shows that every small detail has been considered. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you!
