2009 TESTIMONIALS
MAINS PARK COURT
August 2009, The Slack Family, Devon
“Fantastic time, one of the highlights being a day trip on a hired boat from Kenmore. I had no idea that the loch was so huge – and rough at times!! Also lovely walk up to Black Rock – lucky enough to see an Osprey. Another highlight – you can lose the children in this fab big house!”
June 2009, The Wilson Family, Bishopbriggs
Second time round at Mains Park Court. Accommodation, scenery and weather perfect each time. We are all going home in an emotional state of tranquillity and peace”.
April 2009, 18 April, The Family, London and Toulouse
“A truly perfect house for holidays. Sadly we had to cancel activities, walks and visits because we were enjoying the house (especially sofas, Jacuzzi and sauna) too much! But most of all we have appreciated a lot the people in Kenmore and all around. Everyone’s so friendly here. Scotland: awarded the most friendly place (especially with the Frenchies) in GB!”
