Whitehouse Woodwrae

Lovely, spacious property and perfectly clean.

Really generous and thoughtful welcome hamper. Would highly recommend for a peaceful holiday in superb accommodation.

Had a lovely 7 night stay in August with four children and two dogs, couldn’t fault the property just as advertised and even better than we expected.

Owners greeted us upon arrival and were easy to contact if we needed anything. Would recommend to family and friends and family, would consider staying again if we was within the area.

We had an absolutely lovely time staying at Whitehouse Woodwrae Our hosts David and Elaine were amazing and go above and beyond to ensure their guests are well looked after, also handy that they are not far away if you need anything.

The property speaks for itself and they have thought of everything you will need for your stay. We certainly will be back at somepoint.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay with our group of six friends.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible views over the surrounding valley and the beautiful house itself. The property was tastefully decorated, spotless, cosy and exceptionally comfortable. We honestly could have stayed for the whole week! The hot tub overlooking the valley was the perfect way to relax after our road trip and was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. Our host was amazing and incredibly welcoming. We got a little lost on the way as the written directions were not easy to follow, but he kindly guided us over the phone and made sure we arrived without any problems. The attention to detail, the thoughtful welcome gifts, the cleanliness and the layout of the house all made our stay even more enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place – it’s a perfect 10/10!

Absolutely lovely property to stay at, very spacious, well equipped kitchen, plenty of room and seats in lounge, brilliant mezzanine area with comfortable chairs, books, games, puzzles, music instruments, something for everyone.

Hot tub well serviced in fenced garden area, secure for dogs and children. Lovely views, quiet area next to farmhouse but not that you would disturb owners but on hand if needed. Well equipped laundry room. Starter of washing pods, dishwasher etc was great. Nice quantity of logs for stove, nice weather so we did not use them. Absolutely lovely welcome pack! So nice that we booked to go back already!

Out group(6 of us) had a wonderful stay at Woodwrae.

The location in the Angus counytryside is absolutely fantastic. We had beautiful weather but even if it hadn't been it wouldn't matter as it's so comfortable, clean, spacious and accommodating. We would definitely go back and also recommend to others.

Amazing cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The welcome basket was a nice touch too. The views are stunning, especially when sat in the hot tub with a glass of wine! It was everything we needed to unwind.

Beautiful accommodation with everything you need.

Stunning views, great base for exploring and then also having the hot tub and table tennis. One of the best cottage's we have stayed in and will definitely be back again. Loved everything about the place.

This is a beautiful house which exceeded our expectations.

The house, garden, views, hot tub and location were perfect. The owners made everything easy and we had everything we needed. There was a lovely welcome pack, beds and sofas were all very comfy, excellent showers and the hot tub was always ready to use. We had wonderful weather during our stay and enjoyed visiting the coast, local castles, St Andrews, the Cairngorms,- there is just so much to do! We were also so lucky that the swifts and swallows were nesting - we loved watching them dart about in the evening sun. It was the perfect break for us (2 adults, a teen and dog). Thank you so much we really hope we can return.

We were delighted with Whitehouse Woodwrae.

The owners have gone to great trouble to make it friendly and welcoming, down to vases of flowers on the table and some provisions to get started with. Everything we could have needed, and more, was provided. Beds were comfortable (we slept very well!), there were books, games and even a guitar, although none of us can play! Lack of time, and the weather, meant we failed to try out the hot tub. Maybe next time! Perhaps the outstanding thing about the house was its setting, with a fantastic view from almost every room in the house, and the garden, of the panoramic view westwards over the South Esk valley to the Grampians. We never tired of it. The house made a perfect base for us to get to a family wedding in Aberlemno church and to the family home and reception at Mains of Balgavies. Thank you so much to the owners for our much enjoyed stay. We hope to come back. Liz Whittle

We had a wonderful stay at 'Whitehouse Woodwrae Farm'.

This property is 5 star plus. The house is very modern, light and cleaned to a very high standard.The views from the property are spectacular. We saw lots of wildlife including deer on the the local walks. There is ample onsite parking for cars and the property is secure for dogs. The hot tub was wonderful to use especially at night time when you can see the stars. The log fire is nice on colder evenings. There are lots of lovely local walks and dog friendly pubs too in the area. Thank you Elaine and David for your hospitality.

The house is lovely and very spacious, even nicer than it looks in the photos.

Hot tub and secure garden for the dog make it one of the very best we've stayed at (we've been twice now), and little touches like the welcome pack and books and games make it very welcoming. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely accommodation, tastefully decorated, very spacious lounge has plenty of seats, kitchen/dining room kitted out very well.

Great laundry/boot/coat space at front door. Bedrooms are spacious and decorated perfectly, lovely views from upstairs ones. Top hallway is great place to sit comfortably, read, play etc. outdoor has everything you need, hot tub cleaned daily, well positioned. Owners are very respectful of the holiday home space/hot tub. Great basket of logs,starter pack etc, delicious welcome pack with lovely flowers on table, bonus! Definitely impressed and would recommend.

Amazing accommodation, would highly recommend

Beautiful property with everything you needed and more.

A true home from home!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing stay!

The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the beautiful views. The farm setting was peaceful and charming, offering a unique and refreshing experience. The place was clean, cozy, and well equipped, and the host was friendly and responsive. Truly a wonderful getaway — we would absolutely love to come back and highly recommend it!

Booked here as we were attending our aunt & uncles internment of ashes in Dundee found it to be a lot better than we anticipated.

Only 30 minutes from Dundee so bonus for us. David & Elaine were accommodating from start to finish any queries we had were answered immediately couldn’t ask for better hosts. The house was amazing ,spacious and bigger than we thought even our family from Dundee who came to visit were amazed at what a lovely property it was. The welcome hamper and dog treats were a lovely added bonus the only regret we had was that we wished we could have stayed longer. But we will definitely return!!

This was our second stay at the Whitehouse and once again could not fault anything.

The house is absolutely stunning and the welcome basket and dog treats were very much appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again one day.

Lovely modern house arrived to a lovely welcome basket.

We stayed here for my 60th and it did not disappoint. Hot tub was well used and cooked in the house both days. Views and walks from the house with our dog was great. Not far to venture out to places like Brechin and Forfar and further a field.

This is the second time we have stayed.

Hosts were very accommodating. Highchair and travel cot were available for us. The farmhouse has all amenities you require. Hot tub is a lovely addition, the views are outstanding. Very peaceful and just what we needed for a relaxing time away. The farmhouse is also pet friendly allowing us to take our dog, it has an enclosed garden for pet security.

Lovely property.

Had the best day ever. We used to go for walks in the day with both dogs and come back to use the hot tub. Didn't realise there was a bedroom and bathroom downstairs, so didn't use upstairs. But the house is lovely, cozy and warm. Used the fireplace too most nights. No issues staying here and would love to come back. The short path off the main road is a little bumpy but worth it!

Fantastic!

An amazing cottage which has everything you could need whilst on holiday.

The location is great with stunning views from the cottage and hot tub. Enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and great walks from the door. Loads to do in surrounding area and we will be back.

An absolutely beautiful property.

Immaculate in every way. So many little extras to make the holiday perfect. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We loved our stay, our second at this cottage, and will definitely rebook-house is beautiful, garden perfect for dogs, views sensational

The property was stunning.

Very homely and welcoming, beautifully decorated and gorgeous scenery. The location is great - not far from the nearest towns and a good distance from Dundee and Aberdeen if you wanted to venture into the city. The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed by the adults and children, and the dogs loved the peaceful walking areas surrounding the property. My competitive husband especially liked the barn with table tennis and my 6 year old son spent most of the time we were in the house playing in the games/library nook which was a lovely touch. 10/10 would recommend staying here for a break. David and Elaine were great hosts, thank you for having us :)

The property exceeded our expectations, frankly the photos in the listing didn’t do it justice.

Arriving cold and tired after a tough round of golf was incredible. The home was bright and warm and the hot rib was an absolute joy. The welcome basket was an incredibly thoughtful touch, the local information and recommendations we really helpful. The only disappointment was that we only booked 2 nights. We look forward to visiting this amazing property again

This cottage really is as beautiful as it looks.

Only thing I would change is how long we stayed (should have been longer). Loads to do nearby (beaches, mountains, historic houses) but the house is perfect if the Scottish weather makes outdoor activities less appealing.

We were there for Christmas and the owners had put up a Christmas tree for us arriving which was a nice touch.

The cottage was amazing, clean and had absolutely everything we needed. The views from the cottage were beautiful and made the hot tub even more enjoyable. We would not hesitate in going back. The communication from the owners was also excellent. Everything was perfect for a relaxing Christmas week!

The house is beautiful; quality furnishings, comfy beds, tasteful decor.

We loved the fire and the real Christmas tree, oh and the hamper - thank you! The kitchen has everything you need, even baking equipment. We felt at home, and the dogs were made to feel welcome too. The weather was wild while we were there in December, but had it been a bit milder we would have enjoyed the garden more, which is lovely. Highly recommend.

Exceptional

This was our second time staying here and we’re already talking about when we’ll go back.

A beautiful house which has everything you could possibly need. Really clean, lovely and warm, amazing views and lots of things to do nearby. Thank you for a great week!

This was probably one of the best cottages we've stayed in.

It was spacious inside and out. The views were stunning, the location was handy to nearby towns and villages and not too far from Dundee. David & Elaine were very welcoming and went the extra mile with the welcoming hamper and pooch extras. The facilities are great and as a family we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely book again. 10/10

House is absolutely stunning and much bigger than the photos portray online.

Finished to a very high standard and was perfect for my family and our dogs. Has everything you need for cooking/baking. The library with books / games / jigsaws is great. Bed linen is lovely and perfect fluffy towels. David was extremely responsive and accommodating. Absolutely no complaints or tips - stayed in a lot of cottages over the years and this is by far the best of the bunch. David and Elaine have thought of everything for a perfect stay for the hoomans and fur-babies. We will be back :)

Lovely house with high spec features and furnishing.

Possibly even more spacious than it appeared from the photos, and definitely a place we would love to return to. Owners great in terms of providing directions, local recommendations and info and flexibility.

We had a fantastic week staying at whitehouse woodwrae.

The house is large & spacious with plenty of room for 6 without being on top of each other. Beds are very comfortable best we've slept on being away from home. Cooking facilities are home from home had everything in the kitchen to make meals. The whole house was clean & welcoming with a goody basket on arrival for us & our dogs who loved the outside garden. Hot tub is a great bonus after a day of exploring the area. We will definitely be back.

Great well appointed property with absolutely everything you need.

Very high spec for everything - comfy beds and great bath and showers. Really helped having the boot room too. The views are gorgeous including all the birds and other wildlife. Lots of great places to visit locally without having to go too far afield. Great having owners next door - they were there if we needed them. Very responsive to messages. Thoroughly recommend this property - you absolutely wouldn't be disappointed. Could have spent the whole holiday looking out at the Glens, the animals with just an occasional dip in the hot tub.

Our stay at Woodwrae, Whitehouse was absolutely fantastic.

The house is spacious, well thought out, comfortable and has everything thought of. The views from the hot tub and the front windows are amongst the best we've ever had, even witnessed deer running through the fields on a couple of occasions. It's safe to say that the place stole our hearts, and we will definitely be back again, the hosts; David & Elaine are lovely people, very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Overall 10 out of 10!

Beautiful property on a quiet farm.

Views were wonderful, saw some red kites and swallows every day. Hot tub was amazing too and we spent a few evenings watching shooting stars from it. House is a great size with lots of space, beds were incredibly comfortable. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout the house to make it perfect.

We absolutely loved our 2 week stay at Woodrae.

The cottage itself has everything you need to be kept more than comfortable. The views from the decking are beautiful. The photos on the website do not do the place justice though as the property is much bigger than it looks! We simply loved it and didn’t want to go home. The hosts made it clear that should we need anything then all we had to do was ask. They left us to our own devices whilst checking that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The whole stay was absolutely perfect. 10/10 for the property and the hosts!

House and facilities were perfect.

The property is homely and comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. Every single thing you could need as everything had been thought of by the owners. Perfect relaxing stay and we couldn’t have asked for anymore. Would definitely stay again

Amazing house and setting.

Comfortable house and hot tub. Everything we needed for our stay

Had a fantastic time, view's amazing!

Welcome pack was lovely and information pack was spot on. Thank you for a lovely week very relaxing! Arwyn and family, plus Henry

Only slight improvement I’d like to see is to improve road to the house, quite a lot of bumps and loose stones other than that the place is perfect, would definitely look to book again, so peaceful and really well appointed with some really thoughtful touches, highly recommended

This is a really beautiful property and David and Elaine couldn’t have been more helpful and hospitable.

The garden is completely enclosed so was perfect for the dog. The welcome pack was very generous and the hot tub pure joy. Anyone going to this property will be delighted at the size of the house and quality of the furnishings and general interior. I can’t recommend it highly enough. It is the best Sykes property we have ever visited.

Amazing luxurious property.

Everything was thought out and fully provided, the views were stunning (especially in the hot tub) and it was the perfect base camp for any adventures we went on. We looked forward to getting back there in the evenings after a long day to just relax with the views and the fire. David & Elaine were fantastic hosts and made sure we didn't need for anything. Highly recommended.

Myself my partner my two daughters my daughters fiancé my 3yr old granddaughter and my dog all had a great time at Woodwrae the house was amazing.

Everything was provided to make our holiday feel like a home from home and the welcome pack was much appreciated we all enjoyed it. We enjoyed the garden my granddaughter and dog had so much fun running round and luckily the weather was good no rain at least. Would recommend this house to my friends and family and hope to go back for a visit ourselves. Thanks for everything Elaine and David

Booked as a family holiday with daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren (3 year old & 4 months old).

The house was definitely a home from home with everything thought of including washing tablets, kitchen roll, tea towels plastic glassware (handy when outside near the hot). The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and scrumptious. All the bedrooms were cosy with luxurious bedding and towels. Great space upstairs with the sofas and book corner. The open plan living room was great with an amazing view, private and peaceful garden. The 3 year old loved seeing the farmer in front of the house on his tractor and the lambs behind on the hill. The surrounding area is great for nature walks and just beautiful countryside scenery. Overall a great relaxing time away with the family. We will definitely book again!

Absolutely Amazing, we would highly recommend this holiday home, everything was first class and the Owners were informative and extremely helpful.

The little personal touches added an extra bonus on top of an already awesome getaway. So many areas of this home was fantastic and well thought out, little nooks for chilling, library/games area that we loved. Views from every room across open fields. Fully secured Garden for dogs and children, and bonus a HOT TUB! This house has everything to make your stay easy, warm and comfortable, We even did Our washing and got it dried on the Washing Line provided which meant no chores when we got home, just unpacked and that was it. We WILL be back. Five Stars from Us for this Home.

What a week away we had at Woodwrae!

House is beautiful, very homely with everything you need and more! Gorgeous views, hot tub was amazing and the beds were the comfiest we've ever slept in! Lovely welcome package on arrival from the owners Elaine and David who recommended some lovely days out and couldn't be more helpful. Already looking at dates to book our next stay, can't wait to come back!

an absolute hidden gem!

really gives you the feel of Scotland in the highlands. we arrived very late at night and the owner popped out to see us and make sure we were ok. heating was on which was an added bonus. the owners left a welcome basket of goodies and a welcome note. the place is very spacious and very modern, hot tub with amazing scenery and very comfy beds. 5 min drive to local town with amenities. had sunday dinner at Drovers arms, which was amazing, worth the prices! 30min drive to local beaches, we went to montrose and had a great park for kids, right opposite the beach. we will definitely be coming back.

Woodwrae cottage was lovely.

Very peaceful and secluded but also not to far from shops. The cottage was very spacious clean and comfortable. The hot tub was amazing and you can link up your music to it. Large enclosed garden which was amazing for our dog with plenty of scenery to take in whilst on walks. Will 100% be rebooking.

A gorgeous house in a lovely location, the views were absolutely stunning.

The owners were really nice and friendly; they left us a lovely little welcome basket and even treats for the dog which I thought was a very nice gesture. The house is decorated beautifully with attention to detail. Lovely big enclosed garden for the dog and we really enjoyed the hot tub. We can’t wait to go back and have recommended to our friends and family.

Wow, that says it all!

! Couldn’t fault the place or the owners they couldn’t do enough for you. Welcome basket was superb, even treats for the dogs. We have been to a few cottages over the years and this was the best by far, value for money was fantastic, it’s not a cottage it’s a large house

Lovely property in a great location for our needs.

In terms of size, the pictures really don’t do the cottage justice, it’s very spacious and modern yet retains character, and some lovely touches throughout the cottage. Good sized enclosed garden for the dogs, and walks available from the cottage door. Owners friendly and helpful, and live nearby on the farm should there be any issues (we didn’t have any.) We would definitely recommend this property, and hope to return soon.

One of those houses where you literally take one step inside and know you’re going to come back, without seeing the rest of the house first!

We stayed with our 2 little boys and all absolutely loved it. The house is beautiful. We expected it to be nice from the photos but it was even better than we’d hoped - every detail has been thought of. It was really stylish, immaculate and had everything we possibly needed all week. The view is lovely and we had the fire lit every day and sat enjoying it with our books. The hot tub was a special extra especially when the baby and toddler were asleep!! Honestly couldn’t recommend enough - we booked to return before even checking out :)

What a gorgeous lovely house, staying in winter the house was very warm and comfortable, bed were comfortable, Nice clean and tidy, the view in the morning was typical countryside with deer and numerous birds all around, the hot tub is a nice touch sitting in it below the stars was fun.

Owner very helpful evan when the power was turned off by SSE he sorted the central heating clock and kept us updated on when it would be back. Will be seeking out this wee jem the next time we're curling in Forfar! Many thanks again David, you looked after us
