Proprty was in a lovely quiet location. Host Maggie supplied homemade treats as part ot the deal. There was a jar of homemade biscuits, a loaf of homemade bread and one morning she delivered some steaming hot and delicious berry muffins. Altogether a very pleasant stay.

It started with meeting the hosts. They were so helpful and showed us around the property and then to our accomodation which was ideal for us. They explained to us what sights were around and nothing was to much trouble for them. I would recommend the strawbale cottages to anyone.

Tranquil and well equipped

Frogsong Cottages are beautiful. We stayed in Yellow Cottage at the end of the row. Our lovely host left us a substantial breakfast tray of cereal, fruit, fresh bread, eggs, milk and butter. Her home baked muffins and biscuits were divine! The cottage itself had an enough crockery, cutlery plus those extras that a traveller appreciates- a tea pot and coffee plunger, extra blankets and knee rugs to keep chills away and plenty of towels. Our wee dog was welcomed warmly and he enjoyed a run up and down the slopes. There is limited network coverage on this part of the world so make sure you pack a good book or enjoy the board games included in the cottage. Altogether a very pleasant getaway!

Maggie and Dave were very welcoming and generous hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. We also really loved that during our stay there were no other guests making it a really private and tranquil stay.
