    Fabulous comfortable house with lovely traditional decor and lots of beautiful little touches of elegance. Elizabeth Ann looked after us so well. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely return.

    There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like, I did see a previous review that mentioned no ensuite but we did have our own bathroom across the landing so that wasn’t a problem at all.

    Elizabeth Ann is a fabulous host, from the moment we arrived she took time and care to settle us into her beautiful home. All the bedrooms are large, warm, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean with lovely views of either the garden or the woodland. The bed, pillows and bedding are of exceptional quality and very comfortable. There was everything in the room we could possibly require iron, ironing board, plenty of electrical sockets and a good selection of teas, coffees and biscuits. In the morning we went down for breakfast and there was a good selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurt and juice. The hot breakfast was excellent cooked perfectly with fresh local produce and there was plenty of it, enough to keep you going all day. I hope we do get back to Scaurbridge House and Elizabeth Ann one day soon.

    Elizabeth Ann is a very welcoming and kindly host who only wants to make sure that you're comfortable. She was very happy and gracious in accommodating my requirement to eat a carry out in the dining room and she also provided some delicious home baking 😋 The houses and rooms have a great character and warmth. I'd highly recommend Scaurbridge House.

    Outstanding in every way. Elizabeth Ann and Norman were the perfect hosts and made our visit very special indeed. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated, breakfast was exceptional, as were the little afternoon treats, and our conversations just delightful.

    The room was very quiet as no TV or radio for a bit of background noise. It was nice in a way not to have a TV as we relaxed with reading etc however a radio on quietly would be nice but I guess that's our personal choice.

    Amazing house, owners couldn't do enough for you and the food was amazing! Norman greeted us on arrival and showed us round and made sure we had everything we needed and helped us carry bags to our room. Our dog was also made very welcome and was given sausage at breakfast which went down a treat! They used local produce for breakfast, which was fantastic. We didn't even manage to eat some of the jams and compote that they had made as the full Scottish Breakfast was enough for us but they did put alot of effort in to what they were providing for guests. Breakfast was served at a large table with other guests which was lovely as got chatting to the other guests about things that probably wouldn't have talked about in every day life. All in all we had a lovely weekend there and will definately return. I would class this place as good old fashioned Scottish hospitality.

    Elizabeth Jane was an.exceprional lady with impeccable politeness and a breath of fresh air. It was like being transported to an era where moral integrity and human communication was dignified. The facilities were top notch . The bed most comfortable sleep I have ever had. A hidden gem in South West Scotland in the village of Penpont. Such elegance and fantastic breakfast. Tranquility in abundance. . I felt in a time capsule with the greatest of company. 100% sheer heaven.
