  • "We had a lovely stay cosy cottage nice welcome pack, some great places to visit locally."

  • "This is a lovely holiday cottage, very clean and cosy and it is situated in a great location for touring Angus, Aberdeenshire and Fife."

    However, there was no hairdryer, which we found very unusual, and the beds are a bit lumpy and bumpy and the pillows are very flat. Otherwise, we couldn't fault it.

  • "Lovely cottage in a great location."

    Beautifully kept, very modern and minimalist inside. The listing doesn’t state that there is a step with no hand support down to the “main” bedroom - not ideal if you have mobility issues. We found simple things lacking, eg kitchen roll, j cloth or similar for wiping work surfaces for example, but milk, wine, tea, coffee and sugar were provided as well as a welcome goodie basket which we did appreciate. Lots of visitor attractions nearby.
