Absolute bliss
Luv’d it, the house was everything and more than we all wished for. The house clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Our only regret was we didn’t book for a longer stay . We would definitely go back and would recommend staying here to anyone.

Mansfield House
Thought there might have been contact from the owners prior to our stay. Lovely old house but disappointed that we needed to wash all the crockery/cutlery before using as residue left on from previous use in dishwasher (?) Only one tea towel provided .. more would have been handy and there was no kitchen towel. Otherwise it was fine.

Relaxing getaway
We went for a catch up with friends and had a lovely break, the property has everything you would need and more and is very spacious. The village inn next door was perfect for not cooking and had a couple of meals here, the views are amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the area, would highly recommend

Beautiful property
Beautiful property in an ideal location for all the surrounding walks. Felt like home as soon as we stepped inside. Lots of space and extremely well equipped. Luxurious toiletries were an added bonus. Would recommend and would definitely go back but for longer the next time. Fiona was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions.

Perfect house and location
A spacious and well kitted out property in an amazing location. As keen swimmers we liked having Loch Long on our doorstep and also Loch Lommond a half hour, scenic walk away. The kitchen is well equipped to cook for a big crowd. Our meal at at the Village Inn right next door was lovely and we went back for drinks a few times. All nine of us loved it and would recommend Mansefield House for a great weekend away.
