Despite the name, Lomond House here is not a tiny hideaway - it’s a large historic house with period features, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, yet it’s listed as sleeping two on some booking systems so double-check availability and sleeping arrangements before booking. The house is dog-friendly but guests should follow the pet rules. There’s underfloor heating and a wood burner for cosy evenings, and the hot tub and sun terrace make it a great choice for celebrations and short breaks. Be aware that the house sits in countryside terrain, so expect narrow lanes and limited public transport late at night.
