Braehead Cottage, Falkland, Fife

Brocher Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Review Submitted: September 2, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
My wife and I spent a wonderful relaxing week in this delightful cottage in the beautiful village of Falkland. The amenities provided by Lorraine are first class making the property a real home from home but without the hurly burly of daily life. We were even encouraged to use all of the cooking ingredients so thoughtfully provided. As for the village itself; it has a good selection of tearooms and restaurants for such a small place making it a great place to eat out; there are three pubs supplying typical pub food; the local post office doubles as a mini market; there is also a small bakery; Falkland Palace with its beautiful gardens is also well worth a visit; the whole village is bedecked with floral displays in window boxes and hanging baskets as well as in an old farm cart.

Exceptional Property/Wonderful Week

Tom & Katy Pawtucket, RI USA
Review Submitted: July 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
With a fair amount of experience in letting self-catering properties throughout the UK over the past 14 years, we would nonetheless rate Braehead Cottage as one of the best properties we have rented. The cottage was immaculate, well-situated and offered plenty of amenities. The bedrooms, on the back side of the cottage, are cozy and quiet, with great views up East Lomond Hill. Walking both Lomond Hills then back to the village via the forest/beck path is a great half-day trip. The village of Falkland has plenty to offer, too--from the Palace (the grounds are beautiful) to the pubs. We would especially recommend the Stag, a short stroll away, especially on live music nights. We have already recommended Braehead to family and friends!
