Characterful home in an ideal location for touring…
Characterful and quirky, Ken and Caroline’s home is a cozy base for either setting out for a day of adventure or taking the many wonderful hikes right from their front door, or sitting by the fire as you listen to the rain. The bed is very comfortable and the showers are good. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean. Killearn was an ideal location, with the Co-op just minutes from the house and three choices for coffee or a meal a short walk away.. The people were welcoming and friendly. We had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Cottage and absolutely wonderful hosts!!!
Lilybank was a wonderful place to stay. The cottage was exactly as stated. Ken could not have been anymore helpful with us! He was extremely responsive! The Everhot was a bit intimidating but worked like a charm. The back porch was a great place to wrap up a long day of activities. We had a great time talking, listening to music and enjoying the privacy. I would absolutely recommend Lilybank to anyone. My only advice would be to bring a top sheet for the bedding. This was my first time to the UK and was unaware top sheets are not customary. Overall 5 star!!!

Lilybank was a unique and charming home! Our host was quick to respond about any inquiries that we had. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The Everhot cooking surface was easy to use and superb to cook on. Every room was lovely and the living room so enjoyable to just relax in. The patio was a welcome spot to enjoy our coffee :) Thank you Ken and Caroline for sharing your beautiful home with us!
