"Absolutely the best!"
Our second visit to Bannatyne Lodge, and we will be back for more. Andrea and Peter couldn't be better hosts, quick to address any need. Lovely property top to bottom in a quiet garden setting.

"Had a lovely stay in Bannatyne Lodge."
Andrea and Peter were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful. The lodge is in a beautiful location, very picturesque and quiet. There is lots to see and do nearby - lots of great walking. Local pub had great food. We would definitely come back.

"This is a very comfortable lodge to which we were welcomed by perfect hosts."
The lodge provided a superb venue to explore the surrounding countryside and the local village walks were particularly enjoyable. The dogs and ourselves enjoyed the garden which the good weather allowed us to take full advantage of. Matt and Eileen

"Beautiful cottage in a delightful setting; well presented and very comfortable with everything that you need for a relaxing holiday and is a great base for exploring the local area."

"We were blessed with very good weather making Bannatyne Lodge even more enjoyable."
It's very airy and the lounge is very comfortable. Enclosed, private garden at the back, morning sunshine front and back, but plenty of shade can be found at the back in the afternoon. You can be straight out of the gate and onto a number of paths, ideal for dog walking. Or, you are on the western outskirts of the Sidlaw Hills and with Pitlochry and Braemar being just over an hour's drive away you are in a good location for more serious hill walking. Newtyle itself, a small, quiet friendly village, small well stocked post office / general shop ( bigger supermarkets, 20 minutes drive away), award winning butchers ( Piries, 'World Champion' pies and sausages!) and small, clean, friendly pub, The Commercial with good 'join in' acoustic music sessions, Wednesday nights. Andrea and Peter, owners of the Lodge, very friendly, considerate, helpful but very respectful too of your privacy. Our thanks to them. Overall, Bannatyne Lodge a wonderful place to stay for a quiet, relaxed holiday on the outskirts of a village which is a great place for easier local walks but with easy access to coast and mountain.

Very clean and comfortable. Excellent local walks and base for visiting this part of Scotland. Recommended.

"Fabulous location with great walks on the doorstep."
Warm welcome from the owner and the locals added to the comfortable stay. Lodge has everything you need and is beautifully refurbished and the log burner a bonus! Altogether lovely.

"Bannatyne Lodge is very well kitted out and in a good location on the edge of Newtyle."
The living room is particularly spacious and cosy and Andrea and Peter were welcoming, friendly and helpful with lots of recommendations of things to do in the area with our two kids. We had a lovely week and would recommend a stay here to anyone wanting to explore this part of Scotland or just to enjoy the Angus scenery around Newtyle. Great views from Kinpurney Keep on a clear day and superb Scotch pies from the butcher!

"We had a great stay again, lovely cottage, very comfortable, well equipped and perfect for us working in the Perthshire region."
Thank you

"Lovely, large, enclosed garden which our young Labrador loved exploring and plenty of local walks to keep her amused."
The Lodge was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay and its location made it ideal to explore Dundee and the surrounding area.
-
"A spacious house in a very quite location."
Separate dinning room to enjoy meals. Easy to travel to many areas and attractions in eastern Scotland. The friendly and helpful host lived in the adjacent property. Comfortable furniture and beds . TV & DVD player. Wi-Fi available Good kitchen with all the necessary equipment, also has a small dining table.

"Bannatyne Lodge was the perfect setting and location for our stay in Angus."
The Lodge was stylish but practical with a secure garden that made for a comfortable stay with our large black labrador. Excellent network of dog walking paths from the front door and red squirrels at the bottom of the garden. The owners Peter and Andrea were there if needed and we enjoyed being invited to toast the beacon lighting from their beautiful garden. Newtyle natives were warm and friendly and we enjoyed fish and chips on Monday from the visiting van and a take away from the hotel on Wednesday. Really good location to explore the glens, Glamis, Dundee and the coast. We are looking forward to our next visit.

"Extremely quiet, loved the privacy and nature all around us."
Yet not to far to get great restaurant, and also tourist areas. The house was comfy and immaculate
-
"Lovely house in a lovely area."
The owners are brilliant and exceptionally helpful. Very clean and has everything in the kitchen you could possibly need in my opinion. Plenty of room for dining and jigsaws and reading! Massive lounge with comfy sofas. Lovely patio area in beautiful garden. So close to countryside walks and down the lane to the Church. There is a village shop and an award winning butcher too. Brilliant. Also a pub that does meals at lunch and night, plus takeaway. And a visiting mobile fish and chip van on Monday evenings. Such a lovely break in a lovely place. Many thanks indeed.

"A thoroughly relaxing place."
Garden was secluded and dog friendly. Lounge was much bigger than shown in the pictures. Kitchen was well equipped. Hosts were very friendly.
-
"Bannatyne lodge is a really lovely place to stay."
Surrounded by beautiful countryside in a sleepy village the Lodge ticked all our boxes. The owners Peter and Andrea are lovely people and made us feel right at home. Everything we needed in the lodge with a really pretty garden. We were blessed with the weather and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

"My family and I arrived home yesterday after a wonderful week at Bannatyne Lodge."
We could not have asked for a more beautiful setting for our holiday! The cottage was immaculately clean when we arrived and had absolutely everything we could possibly need for our stay. The photos on the site do not do the cottage justice. The owners were an absolute pleasure to meet and so very helpful and generous. The cottage is set in a beautifully peaceful location but still close enough for us to venture out for activities in the area. The bike trails and walks around the location were lovely and right on our doorstep! So pleased we found this gem of a cottage with such lovely owners!
-
"The house and garden are wonderful and Peter and Andrea are superb hosts."
Fantastically secluded within the beautiful grounds of Bannatyne House and with lovely walks right out of the doorstep. Highly recommended for a perfect holiday!

"We were disappointed with certain aspects, it advised a Bbq ,non, iron and ironing board, non, the house smelt of dogs ,I am allergic to dust, you could literally right your name in the dust in certain areas, around the fireplace, s."
The wood burner had not been cleaned it was filthy, we did not use. The kitchen was clean, along with the bathrooms and bedrooms. The living room was very cold, the furniture was uncared for and covered in dog hair. The tv was to small for the room, had to strain to see. This property has potential but does not deserve the premium price tag, If offering supply, in good working order clean and loved.There is an epidemic which requires a high standard of cleanliness, this didn't reach every day standards. I would re think your star rating on this property. The area is beautiful, wonderful walks and outdoor pursuits, but these could be had at any accommodation in the area. No control of the heating, and some cold evenings.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback. We are so sorry to hear of your disappointment in the property. The property was thoroughly cleaned in line with Covid-19 cleanliness guidelines and checked before your stay to ensure that it was suitable for your arrival. We did advise you upon your arrival that if you had any issues, no matter how small, to let us know as soon as possible. Had we been made aware that you were unhappy at the time of your stay, we would have come immediately to rectify this for you. We are are sorry that you found the living room to be cold, we had the log fire set up with additional logs and kindling ready for you to light upon arrival. As you did not make use of this, this may be why you found the property to be cold. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the local area. Take care and stay safe! Property Owner

"Bannatyne Lodge was superb in every way."
Spatious, clean and well-equipped with a large garden to play in, we spent one of our best holidays in Scotland here. The owner was very kind and friendly and there were lots and lots of things to do in the immediate vicinity and surrounds. Highly recommended.
-
"Very comfortable house in great location."
Peaceful but only a short walk to the village shop and great walks In the beautiful surrounding countryside from the doorstep. A good base for further excursions. Our host was very friendly and helpful. We would like to stay again.
-
"Andrea and Peter couldn’t of been kinder to us, this has been by far the nicest cottage we have stayed at."
Yet. The cottage was set in the most beautiful part of Angus. The cottage was huge, well equipped with such lovely touches of eggs delivered to us and left on our door step. Freshly cut flowers in the house, beautiful large bath, comfy beds and a large enclosed garden for our dog to spend ages sniffing around as there was a mature garden with lots of trees, just beautiful! A beautiful log burner with complimentary logs was put on in July in Scotland but I think that was more out of decadence and sheer luxury but made for a very special evening. We all so enjoyed our weeks holiday at this beautiful holiday home and cannot recommend it highly enough, thank you so much!
-
"The cottage is situated in a very charming and remote part of the village which ensures that you feel completely immersed in the countryside and local walks are literally a stones throw from the cottage."
There are some lovely touches within the cottage making it feel homely as well as cosy, we did indulge in the wood burning stove which was a favourite of ours. Taking into consideration the current Covid-19 situation our host was very careful to ensure everything was done at a distance and they were not intrusive at all, despite being only at the end of the driveway if we did need them. Considering current climes we did find the lack of a fridge freezer, or indeed a stand alone freezer slightly limiting in that we needed to do a shop everyday as we were not able to dine out in the local area, equally as we did all our cooking for the week in the cottage the hob was rather dated and without markings, rather confusing to work, however, the oven was super. A few minor updates to the kitchen would make this a 10 out of 10 for us. We could not fault anything else, even the sun shone most of the week!
-
"The cottage was absolutely fabulous, very comfortable with everything we needed and in a great location."
Plenty space with a large private garden, peaceful and secluded yet a short walk to the village with its amenities. Easy access to lovely walks. The owners were very helpful and very friendly. We will definitely return.

"A fantastic house great location, with amazing walks on the doorstep."
So clean and well equipped. Lovely owners who were very helpful.

"The Commercial Hotel, is a wonderfully, sociable 'local', but it should be noted it only does lunches, not evening meals."
Also breakfasts at the weekend. There is a wonderful butcher - James Pirie and Sons with delicious pies, sausages and bacon. The Post Office has hot food to take away and the staff are all so helpful as is Postmaster Bob.
-

"A beautiful, peaceful spot with a very comfy cottage."
Peter & Andrea made us feel very welcome, and were on hand to help with anything we needed. The pictures online were very accurate to the property. Lots of thoughtful touches, and a lovely garden. Great walks right from the door, which having a dog was very useful. Good position to visit the places we love, like Braemar, Dundee, St Andrews. Would highly recommend.
-
"Andrea and Peter are fabulous hosts."
We were made to feel very welcome yet again. It's great to know that someone is there if you need help but without intruding on your privacy at all. The cottage is gorgeous - we never want to leave!
-
"There was one problem at the start of our week but this was dealt with very quickly and efficiently by the owners."
We were impressed by it all and think this was probably our best Sykes cottage ever. The cottage was spacious, very comfortable with a very high standard of cleanliness. Newtyle is a great village too.

"This is a very well appointed and beautiful cottage."
Everything has been thought of to make your stay really enjoyable. The beds are extremely comfortable and there are plenty of beautiful soft towels provided. The lounge is stunning and the underfloor heating and wood burner make it really cosy. The village is of historical interest and there are great dog walks and running trails. It is the perfect setting for a country retreat, and a superb base from which to explore Tayside and Angus. We would recommend it and intend to stay again.

-
"The owners were very friendly and approachable and the property was clean and spacious."
The location was secluded, but within easy reach of any local attractions and amenities. There were several enjoyable walks to take our dog on around the village. I would recommend it to other dog owners, or walkers.

"Just returned from this lovely cottage."
We had a great 5 days here and Andrea the owner couldn't do enough for us. We would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage.
-
"Andrea and Peter were absolutely wonderful hosts and couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful."
The house was superb and provided everything for a comfortable, peaceful stay in a lovely location. For dog owners the circle of beautiful walks right from the door means it's difficult to leave the house at all! The wood burner in the drawing room was incredibly efficient and cosy, although Scotland provided a week with no rain at all. A wonderful, memorable holiday in every way, thanks completely to our charming hosts.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our three week stay at Bannatyne Lodge."
Perfect in all respects!
-
"The house was immaculate and had everything we needed."
It exceeded our expectations. The heating said electric and this was the one thing that when we booked put us off the house however the heating was in fact central heated and not storage heaters as electric implies in Scotland. I would recommend they alter this. Owners were great. Fantastic property and idyllic village.
-
"This is a lovely cottage in gorgeous grounds."
Spring snowdrops everywhere, a lovely enclosed garden and set just back From the village. The cottage is well equipped and has a lovely lounge with patio windows into the garden. A super, comfortable main bedroom and very well equipped kitchen. We will definitely book again.
