Forget Me Not is in an idyllic location, on a beautiful estate, perfect for walkers.

Forget Me Not is in an idyllic location, on a beautiful estate, perfect for walkers. It is surrounded wildlife, woodland, lochs and rivers. The cottage is very warm, clean and welcoming with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There was always someone on hand to recommend walks, give information about the area or to deal with minor issues like logging onto wifi. There is an enclosed rear garden - great for dogs. We particularly liked the ethos of the estate which supports wildlife and cares for the environment. We will definitely go back! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A beautiful cottage in an amazingly private location.

A beautiful cottage in an amazingly private location. Great for walking the dogs in the country. No WiFi or mobile phone signal so brilliant if you want a total escape.

Excellent well-equipped cottage on the Craigengillan Estate.

Excellent well-equipped cottage on the Craigengillan Estate. Very peaceful. Ideal venue when you need to get away from it all for a while. Our only problem was with the log fire which made the lounge very smoky...we couldn't get rid of the smell of smoke from that room all week.

Whilst the decoration is looking a little tired in places, the peace and tranquility of the location easily makes up for it. Our second visit this year and we will be back.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location. Had a few niggles with broken items which were being resolved. Booked it expecting a secure garden which it did not have and would not have booked this cottage had I known. Internally it just needs a bit of attention to detail but overall would recommend.

Is a lovely cottage in a lovely setting.

Is a lovely cottage in a lovely setting. Road is quite rough on its approach. Would have been so much nicer if they supplied a few extras such as washing up liquid, kitchen roll shower gel and soap for bathrooms. Although a dark sky are it would be nice to have been able to close curtains or shutters in kitchen area for privacy at night. No WiFi which made contacting family difficult. Decor looking a bit dated.

A wonderful place to relax, we have been here 3 years running.

A wonderful place to relax, we have been here 3 years running. If you are looking for a luxurious, well equipped place to stay, then maybe this is not for you - but that does not detract from the enjoyment of staying in this wonderful property.
