Geraldine at Crosswoodhill Farm really came to our rescue when my mum had a long stay in St Johns hospital. Without her we would of struggled to find anywhere to stay for the two months she was a patient. We stayed in all four self catering properties over the two months and they were all fantastic, especially Craigengar, the grandest house I've stayed in. Thanks again G.

Great location, the place is great but the owner/host is abrupt and can be very rude. The area hardly gets phone signal and the wifi barely works. Finding the entrance to the house is very hard and you will miss is it the first 2 times. They need to put up a visible sign or something bigger than a small rectangle. Otherwise it was a great week.

Spent the weekend here with our family, excellent accommodation, plenty of space for the grandchildren to play, especially the outside area. The house was in a secluded area with beautiful views and the sheep in the field added to the enjoyment of the kids, would certainly recommend.

Nice clean accommodation in country side between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Parking and play equipment for kids, but be warned you have to pay for electricity and heating at end of week

It's lovely if u want to stay outside of a town. The host is superb, kind and very detail with her information. The house is complete and the kitchen is fully equipped. Every room is designed to perfection. Really comfortable for big family.

Had a fantastic stay here in a lovely cottage. My 2 year old boy loved his room and the toys. Ge, the land lady couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend.
