This place is amazing. If it wasn’t on the other side of the world from where I live, I’d be planning my next visit. The cottages were gorgeous and well equipped. The setting was superb. It was dead of winter during our visit so very quiet. We did enjoy the hot tub and the stars…. Breakfast was good and staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and happy. Oh, and great wine too! Wish we’d had more time to taste more wine and explore all there is to do in this area. The biking was fantastic though. Thank you, Kinross for a memorable stay!

Love the little wood cottage vibe very much, the size of the cottage is good and they have everything you need. Sunset time strolling around the vineyard and pond is superb too.

Beautiful spot
Beautiful location and friendly staff. We had a terrible plumbing issue with sewerage spilling from the toilet into the shower one morning. However it was dealt with quickly and we were given a beautiful bottle of wine to compensate. Luckily we could use our friends bathroom next door as they couldnt move us as it was full. Housekeeping is a little slack and inconsistent, sugar was not replaced our entire 4 day stay and sometimes other things were missed such as no kitchen cloth/tea towel and chipped plates. We would stay again, if it wasnt for those little things would have made it a perfect 10/10
