Stay at Gowan Ross
Hi, my friends and I would like to say that we did enjoy staying at the Gowan Ross property and loved the cozy feel of the property and definitely had a relaxing stay. You guys nailed the getaway christmassy feel! However, it was disappointing that an important sign directing to the cottage was not in place or mentioned in the welcome pack that it was blown away. We were only told this had been blown away in our call, as we were really lost in the pitch black darkness and were relying on the faint signal from standing at the main cottage to have our call go through. I would also notify future guests that even though there is an emergency phone number there is basically no reception in the area so calls won't go through at all. Thank you,Merry Christmas!

Great cottage
Cottage is beautifully presented, with all the items you would need for the weekend or short stay. Plenty of space for all the family. Suggest to have a sign where the driveway splits at the tree as we arrived late and was uncertain as you can't see the house from the driveway
