Easter

The sun shone, it didn't rain & in spite of the biting east wind, we had a fantastic Easter break at Cardross Holiday Homes...all the cottages were full & guests had a lovely time.

"The cottage has been fantastic and with the lovely weather have been able to see relatives and do some touristy things too! "
