This was a return visit for us so knew what to expect and again, this did not disappoint. House had everything needed and is a great location for places to walk the dog. Local Spar has everything you could want and we did sample the local cafe and Chinese which were both very good. I’m sure we will return again in the future.

I had a nice peaceful stay at Hollybank, the house was just what I wanted. It was well equipped for a single person / couple staying. Ladybank had good transport links to Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth, so the car did not move the whole week. If you are looking for somewhere to use as a base to explore that area of Scotland, then Hollybank is the place for you.
