we have just come back from staying at Fairlie and just wanted to say what a fantastic house it was. We had a great holiday and the house was not only beautiful but immaculately presented.The whole process from the online details to the directions and helpful file left at the house were outstanding. We have rented a lot of UK cottages and this was the best by a mile - Anna Cummin.
we all enjoyed the village and the House, and I have indeed recommended both your company and the property to friends. - Judith Gilbody
