Reviews and Testimonials for Castle Gardens at Mains Of Taymouth
BELL TOWER
August 2009, The Rogers Family, Hampshire
“A fabulous retreat in a breathtaking location. The kitchen was well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. As for the bathroom – well, what can we say? The sauna and steamroom proved to be a luxurious means to unwind after the day of walks and visiting new places … this week has probably been our most relaxed yet and we have no doubt that the cottage was a significant factor. We visited Edinburgh for a day which is a beautiful city, not too far away and plenty to see and experience. We would love to come back again soon, as this is a real gem!
September 2009, The Bell Family, Carolina, USA
”The Bells have spent a perfect week residing in the Bell Tower. We have been blessed with wonderful weather, quiet neighbours and a grand first visit to Scotland – the land of our ancestors. We feel as if we have come home and hope to return soon with all the “Bell Clan”.
May 2009, The Callow Family, Troon
Everything our ‘5-star luxury self-catering cottage’ on Arran promised but failed to deliver is achieved at Mains of Taymouth. We were very lucky to win a 3-night stay here as a second honeymoon. The weather wasn’t unkind, the accommodation is cosy and beautifully presented. Our two regrets are not having come here in June after our wedding (our honeymoon truly was awful!) and we regret having to leave. We are looking forward to coming back for our 1st anniversary”.
May 2009, The Jordan Family, Moffat
An excellent and relaxing stay. The cottage was a luxurious haven to return to after some very wet and wind cycling trips! Looking forward to coming back again soon”.
February 2009, The Downie Family, Aberdeen
