This beautiful house in Cathkin's Park is ideal for a family get away. We were here with my partner's family for three days and it felt like the perfect hideaway to access nearby hikes, swimming in the pond and spending quality time together as a family. I would stay here again without hesitation and I cannot recommend it more highly. My two small comments would be as follows: If you are a foreign traveller and don't know what self catering is then you should be aware that the expectation is that you will provide your own dish soap, dishwasher pods, etc. The host was kind enough to have some things on hand but otherwise you should be aware of the expectations. Finally, if you aren't comfortable around bugs and little critters then I would think twice before booking this location. It absolutely did NOT bother us on our trip but there are definitely quite a few insects, spiders and frogs in and around the property. Which is to be expected for the region.

Thank you, we really had a wonderful stay and Wellstead is a little gem. Just a note, it took the water in the shower in the main bedroom more than 10 minutes to get hot and the pressure was very low. We found one or two dishes still had food stains on them, but beside that it was truly amazing. Thank you so much
