We spent a night at Holmlands on the way to Edinburgh. We had read all the good reviews on Tripadvisor and heartily agree with them. Graham and Verena are great hosts and our room was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was sparkling and the towels and toiletries were of a superior quality to those in the 4 star Edinburgh hotel we stayed in the following night.
Verena's love of cooking is evident in the high standard of food she prepares. We had a delicious 3 course meal in the evening of our stay. No namby-pamby 'nouvelle cuisine' at Holmlands - this was home-cooked food at its best, from the melt-in-the-mouth beef to the divine sticky toffee pudding served with custard and cream. Next morning, there were home-made scones and preserves and eggs from Graham and Verena's own hens, together with locally-sourced bacon and sausage.
This couple really enjoy looking after their guests and we shall look forward to returning to Holmlands next time we travel to Scotland.
Highly recommended!
