The cabin was absolutely stunning, nestled in a breathtaking spot with views of fields, sheep, mountainsand waterfalls all around. Quiet but well-equipped-especially loved the gin tasting, the owners make a cracking gin! We had a fantastic stay, cheers!

We stayed at the Flying Scotsman and loved it! The peaceful spot was perfect for relaxingand the shepherd's hut was surprisingly roomy. Everything you could need in the kitchen was there, which was great. The hot tub was definitely the highlight - so relaxing! Would absolutely recommend and hope to return soon.
Emma Carter
Wonderful hosts, peaceful stay, truly relaxing experience overall.
Emma
The location was absolutely gorgeous, super peacefuland the woodwork quality exceeded our expectations. Everything was spot on, really. We loved it! Definitely recommend.
Oliver
We really enjoyed our stay at The Flying Scotsman, especially the stunning location! The glamping was fantastic, though some small fixes like tightening the sink tap and replacing a blown bulb would make it perfect. The self-catering part was okay, but a few touches could really elevate the experience. Still, it's a lovely place!
