It's a lovely property, very clean, cosy and comfortable with everything we needed. There was a lot of rain while we were there and it was nice to sit and relax in front of the wood burner. The location was perfect, with some great walks right on the doorstep and many more within a 15-20 minute drive. It was very quiet and peaceful with a nice garden that our cocker spaniel enjoyed exploring. The owner, Sue, couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. We would definitely return to the Shieling and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet break with lots of scenery and walks.

Watching the numerous birds come to the bird feeders was amazing but unfortunately we did not see any red squirrels or pine martens during out stay. The only down side was the lack of communication with the outside world but this was mentioned in the description of the property. However, to some it would be a necessity to use a phone or email.
