We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages but Braehead Croft beat them all hands down! The view is spectacular.The owners should be proud of themselves. The highlight was spotting seals in the bay from the garden! I would highly recommend this cottage, it was fabulous. Author: Mrs Trick, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire - Date of Stay: 10/2011

It was probably the best equipped holiday home we have ever rented. The owner was very helpful and informative. Author: Mrs Harrison, Chorley, Lancashire - Date of Stay: 09/2011

We thought the Croft was one of the best properties we have stayed at in over 50 years of self catering. Everything was perfect. We found the owner very pleasant and helpful and we enjoyed the walking. Author: Mr Batchelor, Stafford, Staffordshire - Date of Stay: 09/2011

Braehead Croft was better than we had expected,a fabulous place to relax. Author: Ms Farmer, Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire - Date of Stay: 09/2011
