"Very good, comfortable accommodation with plenty of space for our family of 4."
We enjoyed our stay and found it a good base from which to explore Fife.
The property folder and visitors books were really useful for recommending days out.
For those reading who are concerned about access to the internet, we found that we could usually get mobile data in the rooms, but most reliably in the master bedroom (we're on Giffgaff which piggybacks on the O2 network)

"We absolutely LOVED staying there and look forward to returning again."
There are a couple of things we'd suggest (in fact, left a note on the kitchen table): the toilet fills and flushes unpredictably; we count on having Internet provided; the back steps are very dark and dangerous...you really need a light on them; the dryer doesn't work (we just repaired one for our daughter and it was the heating sensor that had to be reset). Mostly we really, really enjoyed being there, one of the loveliest sites we've ever stayed in. Thank you so much. (it's fine to publish my comments and to edit out the specific suggestions! :) )

"Excellent welcome from NTS staff who were eager to make sure that everything was satisfactory."
Welcome tray provided - very much appreciated, with not just 1 but 2 teapots to enjoy a relaxing cuppa, not available in previous property. Well provisioned kitchen. No dogs allowed (some people are allergic to dogs). Lovely walks, and central for sight seeing in Fife.

"I had a lovely peaceful stay at Hill of Tarvit."
I have stayed several times and love the gardens and grounds around the house and the proximity to the sea. This time I was so lucky to arrive when the weather was beautiful, sunny but cold. The only slight problem I had was that I couldn't work the dishwasher, there were no instructions and it didn't work like any that I have ever had. That said, I was on my own so there wasn't much washing up! Thank you for another wonderful break.

"Lovely surroundings, great local walks, the flat is comfortable and with a few tweaks highly desirable."
A lick of fresh oaint, tv in bedrooms and heating sorted would be a help.
Thank you very much for your kind comments about your stay at Hill of Tarvit. We are planning to refresh the paintwork at the next available opportunity. We regularly bleed the radiators and we would have happily come in and sort out any issues you have while staying in the cottage. Property Owner

"Excellent facilities, still needs wifi and a couple more black bags for rubbish (on holiday so refused to do any cooking using supermarket ready meals)."
Mid-September 2022 with Covid still around so some National Trust and other tourist properties not fully open yet, also Queen died just before arrival and local facilities affected during my holiday week as well as major road problems on journey home. Transport strikes called off, etc in same week. So essential for wifi to update on places to visit, road and transport problems, etc, during this unexpected emergency situation affecting my whole visit to this property and the area as well as longer journey time on way home due to road closures and diversions throughout London (my home town) on Saturday 17 September for 19 September public funeral.
Thank you very much for the excellent scores you have given for your holiday at Hill of Tarvit. We have noted the comment about the black bags, thank you for that feedback. We are looking into wifi for the four cottages at Hill of Tarvit but there isn't a simple solution at the moment for this estate. Property Owner

"We were very impressed with the modern kitchen and bath, as well as the homey, comfortable bedrooms and sitting room."
The bedding was delightful. We mentioned 3 very small items (a bath light bulb, heating timer and refrigerator temperature,) for attention to the manager, and we felt assured they would be addressed for future guests. The facility manager was a delightful hostess: a wonderful representative for NTS! Thank you for providing such an excellent service for your traveling visitors.
Thank you very much for your feedback and great to hear that Claudia at Hill of Tarvit is appreciated by our customers. Sorry to read about the maintenance issues . We hope to welcome you back to the National Trust for Scotland. Property Owner

"Lovely property and really nice location - would help if you put a sensor light up so you can see going up and down the outside stairs rather than providing a torch."
It’s also difficult to close the outside door as you need both hands to do the combination lock and handle so you have to put everything down that’s in your hands first when going out and then again when you shut it behind you.
Many thanks for your feedback, the cottage is off for maintenance at the moment and we have noted your comments as part of the snagging process. Property Owner

"NTS Cottage, well appointed and in good location."
Unfortunately using Sykes Cottages it feels like I am being spammed by them the amount of emails received since booking!
Thank you for your positive comments about the property at Hill of Tarvit. We have asked Sykes to take you off their mailing list. Property Owner

"When I booked it appeared that the flat had a key safe, actually what it had was a combination lock."
There was no bolt or key on the inside to secure the flat overnight, so anyone who had ever been told the combination could have come in. The first night (staying by myself) I slept with all the lights on. The next day I had a long conversation with the property manager, Wendy, who tried to tell me that their insurers insisted on it which seems extremely unlikely and that it was completely safe which is patently ridiculous since she could have no idea of who had been given the number. She did eventually do what she should have done straight away, which was to bring a key, so it was resolved in the end but irritating.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Our insurance company did insist on us putting in the combination lock. However, we will take your advice on board and supply a key to those who are nervous about not being able to lock the door with a key.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to provide us with your comments.
