What people say about us
The accommodation was of a very high standard and the facilities were excellent.
The age range of the party was from 2 to 71 and there was plenty for everybody to do. The big attraction was that it was so close to the town centre but the outside play areas and the hot tub were also well enjoyed.
Mr G, May 2017
There is so much to do around the area for people of all ages.
We came here to celebrate my 70th birthday. We have all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in this beautiful home, in such a wonderful setting. We had fantastic weather but even if the weather had not been so kind to us there is so much to do around the area for people of all ages. Big hits – the hot tub, the children’s play area at the rear of the house, football field at the rear of the house, Go Ape.
The Gilmour family, Isle of Bute – April 2017
Thank you for a clean, excellently appointed and very sensibly arranged house.
The furnishings and facilities are tasteful and of high quality which we all appreciated. Thank you for the children’s toys and the large luxurious towels. Very unusual to find a house of such quality that is arranged and equipped so sensibly!

Our 3rd visit to Bracken Howe
We have thoroughly enjoyed our time away. Plenty of laughs and giggles and as one of the ladies said, “it has been the perfect tonic!” this was a much needed break for us all and we are all leaving feeling relaxed, refreshed and are already eagerly anticipating our next visit in 2018! Thank you so much!
