Second time visiting and again wished we could have stayed longer. Great place spending quality time with the family. Hope to revisit in the future. Great to be shown the highland cows.

We had a wonderful family holiday at Sycamore Farm and were warmly welcomed by our hosts, Carol and Graeme. The farmhouse was amazingly spacious and very well appointed, everything we needed was there. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the sauna was a real treat, despite the heatwave! We loved the visit to the Highland cattle on the farm and the many interesting places in the locality. A fabulous holiday.

Lovely place with excellent facilities and equipment. Situated on by a working farm so there are some flies and ants so some care with your foodstuff is sensible. However, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, fabulous lounge, fun games room and very nice outside seating. We did not make use of the hot-tub or the sauna as we stayed during a hot spell. We came as several couples for a get together and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
