Customer Reviews

Just back from a great week with our family at Garrique Cottage. Kids loved it, and the tennis court was big bonus for them. Very peaceful and great base for exploring. Really enjoyed the "time capsule" water park in Coatbridge, well worth a visit. Very friendly and helpful owners. Will be back again.

The views from `Garrique Cottage were breath taking, and it is in a central spot to visit many places of interest. The cottage is very comfortable and the owner is very friendly and made sure that we were happy and had everything we needed. I really could not fault anything, and I would highly recommend Garrique Cottage for the more mature as well younger people and children as there is so much on the doorstep. Having stayed in many different cottages and apartments this cottage tops the bill.

Nous avons passé une semaine fantastique dans ce cottage coconing. Le paysage qui l'entoure est splendide. surtout sous la neige. Il y a plein de sentiers de randonnée a partir du cottage, Un vrai regal! Le cottage est grand, 3 chambres, 2 salles de bains, 2 salons. Tout est prevu et rien ne manque. Il est plein de charme surtout avec son poil a bois. Nous comptons revenenir des que possible😉. Les proprietaires sont des gens charmants et d'une gentillesse incroyable. Nous avons passé un sejour inoubliable. Merci a Fiona et son Mari.
