Summary: My family had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here! Airin and Nick went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed and more. What stood out most was the personal touch they brought to every interaction; it felt like staying with a friend rather than just booking a place. They added thoughtful extras that truly made our stay extraordinary, from personal property tours to homemade bread. We can’t recommend this place enough and would love to return in the future!

Summary: Felt the advert promised more than delivered. No hot tub as stated on advert and no cost reduction. Its a lovely house but some old tired pieces need TLC tolift it.Setting is isolated which is good in one way but with poor WiFi not one I'll return too

Summary: The house was perfect for me and my family. All the rooms were comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us to have space. We loved walking around the property, so many beautiful views! We were there for Christmas and the house was decorated, which was a really nice surprise. The fireplace made everything extra cosy! Any issues we had were minor and very quickly resolved. Airin is a fantastic host and I would definitely want to stay here again.

Summary: I can't stress enough how wonderful the host of this property were to us. The grounds are spectacular. The location is great if you want to take 1 -2 hour day trips. Everything in the house was clean and orderly. The hosts greeted us with homemade bread, jams, tea, coffee and a few other essentials. I HIGHLY recommend Montrave House run by Airin and Nick Gilmour. Awesome stay. We loved it.
