Holly House

Just returned from a beautiful week at Holly Cottage.

The cotrage was spacious and very well equipped. Stunning views, we was fortunate to have snow, was magical. Very peaceful, relaxing, would love to return one day ❤️

Exceptional accommodation very comfortable although a bit remote you need transport plenty of places to visit only disappointing thing was the games room a little bit outdated although this could be down to the amount of usage would I recommend this property yes if you like a lot of walking this is ideal otherwise like I said you need transport the nearest place alyth being 5miles away

Lovvely house, very well equipped, friendly helpful owner,

Excellent host , a superb house in a fabulous location with marvellous views.

The house exceeded our expectations; very well equipped!

What you see on the pictures is exactly what you get. Magnificent views and surroundings. Deer and pheasants just walking in front of the house. The gaming-corner in the barn is an absolute hit! During the booking I had a question which was quickly answered during a phone call.

Such a well equipped house, had everything that we needed.

The games barn was a great success with the grandchildren (15 and 3) and having an enclosed garden for the dogs was a bonus too! An additional TV would have been good to keep the grandchildren happy at certain times but we worked around it. Overall an excellent holiday and would recommend the property to everyone.

This is a brilliant house next to the owner's farm house in a beautiful rural location.

Whilst nearest shops is a ten minute drive, Tesco deliver and were really good. Owners were lovely and provided support when the ironing board was found to be broken, replacing it the same day. Accommodation was wonderful with plenty of room lovely dining area, great lounge. Lots of room in freezer, powerful oven great dishwasher, washing machine and tumbler. Wifi was a bit slow but considering the location, that was to be expected and mobile coverage was good. Showers were all good and the bathrooms were lovely including the wet room. House was very clean and garden was great too. We also made use of the lovely games barn with table tennis and pool table. The eco credentials of the property are fantastic and the water turbine and solar heating are made me happy. Couldn't be happier with the rental. Highly recommended.

Great house, very clean and spacious.

Front door very difficult to close & lock. We have a great long weekend - thanks!

A fabulous property!

Warm and welcoming with everything you needed to make a family trip be a huge success. A great time was had by all. A wee hidden gem in the glens of Alyth!

Holly House is a gem of a property in a stunning area if you like to enjoy the rural side of Scotland.

The owners are discreet but on hand should they be needed. It was very clean (the odd overlooked bit of dust here and there but nothing major) and facilities are excellent. Bed mattresses are soft which may not be to everybody's taste. The games barn is superb and perfect if weather is not kind. It's not often we find a property that we want to return to - here we definitely will!

We had a very lovely stay at Holly House.

Gorgeous countryside and well situated for a lot of local sights and eateries. The house itself was wonderfully spacious, kitchen was a dream and all was very cosy. The games barn was a fantastic addition! So great to have that. Thanks again to Diane for all your help in making our stay very special. Hope we can come again!

Thanks for the great getaway Will hopefully be back in the none so distant future

Loved Holly House!

!! The owners where extremely helpful,friendly kids loved the Barn with extra trampoline,holly house was spotless,homely,cosy with big open fire would highly recommend Holly house to friends,family.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable week at Holly House!

We were two families sharing (8 of us in total) and there was plenty of room for everyone, with the games barn especially enjoyed! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the fire in the evenings was really cosy. We enjoyed walking in the local area as well as travelling a bit further afield to Perth and Dundee. The owners were kind and helpful and we would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

We loved the cottage, very cosy and clean.

Beautiful surrounding and lovely owners.

A delightful holiday property in a beautiful location.

It was ideal for our family stay and had everything we required. A fantastic base to explore the Angus and Perthshire countryside. Dog friendly with a great spacious garden which our black lab thoroughly enjoyed. Only there for one week but could have stayed much longer. Hopefully will return soon.

Lovely location, so pleased with the house and the kind owners who kept us informed about the weather.

A great family house for a group with the added benefit of a games room. The house was always warm, spotless on arrival, and not too far from Balirgowrie and shops and also cities of Dundee and Perth, with mountains to climb under an hour away. Great for wildlife too, Saw pheasants, deer, bramblings and a real 'Dark Sky' location.

Property exactly as described with dog safe back garden.

It is ideal for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban/suburban life.

Lovely set up.

It was great for our family of 9, from toddler to grandparent with mobility issues and 2 dogs. Lots of games and books available for kids (and big kids) of different ages as well as the games in the barn. Also great facilities provided for babies although we did not use them. The dogs were also very happy with a utility to sleep in and being able to join us downstairs. My nephew celebrated his 10th Birthday while staying and had a great week.

An absolutely fabulous house it provided everything only couple of niggles the shower in the en-suite was loose at the wall mounting and a little precarious and it took a long time to drain away so you had to make sure you finished showering before the water spilled out onto the bathroom floor.

Also a slow cooker in the kitchen would be a fantastic addition as the house accommodates large families you could put a meal in a slow cooker and it would be ready when you return after a day out walking. Diane and Alistair couldn’t have been more helpful they sorted out the ev charging point which was an absolute godsend for me as my car is all electric and they sorted out the washing machine for us they are absolute treasures and provide a lovely warm and very well kept and extremely clean property which we all enjoyed and would without hesitation make a return visit and definitely recommend it to family and friends who want to think about venturing into Scotland for the first time it’s a great location to get a feel for what Scotland has to offer we loved it.

Very comfortable stay which met our needs completely.

Glorious weather which meant we didn’t use the barn, but the garden was perfect for sitting peacefully in after a long day walking.

We found the house to be exactly what we needed, it was spacious and clean, with a totally enclosed large garden we could relax when the dogs were outside.

The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of boxed games for the family to enjoy in the evening. The games barn was a real asset for young and old to use. The owners were friendly and informative and quick to help and answer all our queries fully. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property for a family holiday and hopefully, one day, we will return!

The property was an excellent holiday home for our family.

The house and garden are lovely and comfortably and met all our needs. There's a lovely outlook from the house of the surrounding farm land and countryside. The barn was great for all the family with games to suit everyone. We had a great holiday.

My family had a lovely week staying in Holly House.

It is very comfortable and well equipped, there was nothing that I thought I needed but couldn't find (well I couldn't find pegs for the clothes line....until the last day, but that says something about my finding skills!) My children loved the games barn, making good use of the activities in there. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house.

The property was amazing could not fault it had an amazing time the games room was great would love to go back

The property and communication with the owners was good.

It helped as there was to be power cut on one of the days we were there but it actually happened a day earlier and on the day that was recorded. But the owners kindly supplied us with a portable gas cooker to see us through meals and volunteered to help in any way they could even though it was out of their control. The downstairs rooms/kitchen were spacious and this helped when there are nine hungry mouths to feed. Everything was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the opportunity to play some of the games supplied round the large dining table at night with the log buner keeping us warm. All the family who were there enjoyed their stay and would come back again. It was a great jumping off point for visiting other places of interest in the area too. The only things I could recommend as an improvement is, that arriving late in the day and it being dark we went to explore the games barn. But it was difficult to find the light switch which was located at the other side of the barn hidden behind the light that was illuminating the way to the stairs. It took us a while to find, so maybe a notice at the entrance as to where the switch is would be a help in those circumstances. The other thing was maybe more pillows as the young boys who used the bunk beds found that another couple of pillows would have helped. The important thing is we all had a great time.

An excellent house for a family get together.

Great walks within a short distance including the Cateran Trail right outside the house. Very peaceful and comfortable. Really had all the better things we look for in a holiday cottage. Highly recommend.

The contact and information provided before arrival was excellent, best I have experienced.

Good sized property in nice location. Could have been a bit cleaner , dirty cups and plates put away , should have been checked before our arrival. Not happy bringing our own towels , this is the only property that has this policy. Don't like the idea of taking the bedding off the beds , we are on holiday. Gutter needs to be repaired above front door, would have done it myself if I had the tools. Pretty good cottage but not in the top division.

Really enjoyed my holiday owners are really nice and helpful.

House was really nice and good condition.

Holly House was a great place to stay for us walking the Cateran Trail for the week.

It was extremely comfortable and the hosts were very helpful before and during our stay. We particularly appreciated the electric car charger.

We stayed in Holly House for 2 weeks from the end of September.

There was 6 of us (originally planned to be 8, but 2 dropped out) and 2 dogs. We absolutely loved it, the location was gorgeous and it was so refreshing to get away from the norm for 2 weeks! The house is amazing, photos are very true to the house, and it really felt like a home from home. Brilliant base for us to explore the wider area and the views were just gorgeous! The garden is fully enclosed and was perfect for our 2 dogs, one of whom is reactive to other dogs and strangers, so having the enclosed garden was a real godsend for us as he could roam about without us needing to worry! We are already trying to work out when we want to come back! Thank you to Alistair and Diane for hosting us!

First time at Holly Cottage.

Very well presented and fully equipped with everything you would need. Property is very spacious and very dog friendly. Well enclosed to keep dogs safe. Plenty of walking around the property. Older grandkids really loved the Barn. Very quiet and peaceful. We will be back in the future.
