• "We loved Wonderland Cottage and were very happy with the facilities and the welcome."

  The town and area are also a good base for visitors and very friendly. In particular we loved the garden and thanks to the owner for showing us around the private part. Highly recommended if you want something a bit quirky and different. Plus being back off the main road it was very quiet.

• "This is a well apportioned cottage with quirky furnishings and a nice wood burning stove."

  It is hidden back from the street through a pend. Parking for one car is available in front of the pend. Free on-street parking is available from 5.30pm until 08.30. It is a surprisingly spacious cottage and has good privacy from surrounding housing.

• "Stella has created a beautiful cottage inspired by Alice in wonderland yet has managed not to over do it."

  She was an amazing host, gifts and a card left as we were on our honeymoon. I asked several weeks earlier about a slow cooker and she went out and purchased one which was used several times. A quiet location with the addition of a newly renovated pub, a pizza truck and kind people. Stella was informative and responsive. We will be back to Wonderland again.

• "What a lovely place."

  We had everything we needed. Stells even messaged to make sure we landed ok. She was a great host. We had a lovely Christmas stay. She had put up a tree that was even a live one that smelt lovely. It scented the room with a gorgeous piney sent. The house is lovely. A*** standard. Bad reviews unfounded we feel. Clean throughout and everything we needed was there. Thanks for having us. Happy New Year to you all.

• "Finding the cottage which is hidden from the Main Street by walking under the archway of a pend is like entering Alice’s rabbit-hole portal into another dimension of wonder and enchantment."

  This delightful ancient wee house is furnished by its loving owner with flair and imagination which is such a welcome change from the modern bland decor offered in too many holiday homes. The garden is full of tiny surprises and sheltered enough to eat outside even in October, given half-decent weather. The kitchen is well-equipped enough for creating proper meals if you want to bother, and you might, as Newburgh is not a “touristy” area with a huge choice of places to eat. (Jamesfield Farm is excellent and so is the Village Inn at Bridge of Earn). Wonderland’s bathroom is astounding, and has a walk-in shower as well as the enormous bath. The stairs are steep with a handrail one side, so if you have arthritic knees like I have but perhaps are no longer used to stairs, you’d need to be careful. We would love to stay again sometime and enjoy the magical experience once more. Marion MacDonald

• "Wonderland is paradise!"

  It’s a unique place! We felt immediately at home… it is not only decorated with lots of love and extremely well kept… it has all amnesties that you could possibly ask for: the beds are very comfortable and offer lots of space to unpack your own things…the bathroom is fantastic as well for relaxing in a private spa day at home! The sitting room is so cozy and at the same time technically modern equipped in regard of entertainment and WIFI! The kitchen is perfectly layed out with a huge American Fridge.. large gas stove a kitchen equipment is offered in generous amount and condition. The cottage is not only comfortable but the perfect place to clear your head completely. If the weather conditions allow…the garden offers lots of nice sitting areas to enjoy..for reading, relaxing…teatime etc.. The cottage is nicely located..as it offers tranquility being in the back…and at the same time only a few minutes walk from the Coop, bakery or the lovely rose gardens or green alongside the river Tay! Wonderful and we will be definitely coming back! Thank you so much!

  I am so very glad you enjoyed Wonderland and look forward to welcoming you back! Stella x Property Owner

  So many great places to explore in the surrounding area (really enjoyed the tour at Lindores Abbey Whisky Distillery - within walking distance!) The gardens at the cottage were lovely - and thanks so much to our host for taking us down the Rabbit Hole! We'd definitely recommend this cottage - in fact, we have sung its praises to a number of friends already (though it might not be your cup of tea if you are a minimalist!!)

• "Wonderland cottage is very unique and lovely."

  However I was very apprehensive before arriving. As two days before our holiday I had checked in a couple of their listings to see if there was a hairdryer only to see that they don't allow children. In panic I checked my booking to make sure I had booked for 2 adults and 2 children and our dog . Which I had so this must of changed since I booked it . Which made me nervous why this might have been . When we arrived the host was in the garden , Stella was lovely but explained their private garden was at the back of our holiday home garden which the had to go though to gain access. She also explained that they had a wedding in there next week on our exit day so there would be coming and goings which shouldn't bother us . We got into our home and I could see why the rule on children had been changed . The photos of wonderland cottage on all booking sites we're not how the living room is now . There are a lot more breakables and it is a lot darker now . The garden was beautiful but it was just a shame we could not feel at ease to enjoy it and relax as a family . When we have been in previous holidays all over Scotland we book homes that we can enjoy the garden as it's a privilege to us . There was coming and goings everyday . Even once my husband put the dog out before bed at nearly 1am and Stella and her husband was there . I would have got such a scare . I fully understand they had a lot to do for the up coming event however i think when you are having your only family holiday of the year we should have been notified of what was going on and had the option to cancel with full refund prior so we could seek alternative accommodation, I understand the garden needs maintenance but everyday was a bit too much . To go out and enjoy the day we felt we had to leave the property which cost more money with children. I would have totally understood if this had been explained before our holiday. The cottage should have never been booked out on the run up to such an event . Also it should be more clear on the description on the booking sites of the how much access they have through the garden to their private area . And yes some people are fine with engaging with the hosts but that not for us . We love to escape as a family and feel free to enjoy each other's company and enjoy our property. Our dog only ever barks at the windows so when people were passing to go to the garden she was reactive. We had to close the curtains through the day to stop this from happening . Stella did come with wine and chocolates for the inconvenience. It felt wrong taking the wine knowing how I felt about our stay so I did leave it but it was a lovely gesture. Wonderland is a lovely place and Stella is also lovely but unfortunately it's not the type of stay we were expecting and we usually love our very precious family weeks break . Just wish we could have gotten to fully enjoy the garden as it is lovely. But for us sitting as a family having a BBQ with people passing and looking on is just not for us so did not manage to to that . So we have came home feeling rather cheated on our summer family holiday.

• "We have just returned from a holiday in Wonderland Cottage situated in the town of Newburgh north of Edinburgh."

  Our first impression was pretty negative, the main street needs a big refurbishment programme. Having got the negative out of the way the cottage itself is located through an archway off the High Street. What a revelation. The cottage is a monument to Wonderland and we pictured Alice being absolutely at home there. Every room is filled with knik-naks pertaining to the story. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large fridge/freezer. The living room has free Wifi and a television situated on the wall. Two bedrooms upstairs that can only be described as luxurious. My particular favourite was the bathroom. Stunning. A large bath, shower unit with a great shower head, a beautiful sink you didn’t really want to use and a loo. The garden is in three parts. We had great weather and spent some time there. Our chalkie, Lottie, loved it. Stella has worked extremely hard at producing an experience and has exceeded beyond expectations. She is hard working, very friendly and approachable. I cannot endorse this holiday cottate enough. Fabulious is the word I would use to describe Wonderand. Thank you Stella.

  We did have problems with the heating system—too cold at first, then tending to be too hot. Stella was friendly and helpful. The local area of Fife and Perthshire is pretty and interesting but Newburgh itself is tired and a lot of businesses closed—including pubs and takeaways, not really how you represented it

• "As reviewed by previous visitors, Wonderland is certainly a quirky, cosy cottage."

  ..comfortable beds and seating. A guest manual with user instruction books, bin collection days, wi-fi password, etc would be useful as highlighted by other guests, As too was the mention of a full rubbish bin on arrival! As self - catering, cupboard space would have been useful. We had to put all food products on work surface. Only one wardrobe for 2 bedrooms. Garden needs a great deal of TLC as it has great potential. Washing machine powder compartment was nothing short of disgusting with black mould and thick grey slime. Owner was around for approx 3 and a half days working on garden ( personally we found this intrusive and that work should be done when cottage is unoccupied) However, Newburgh is a great base to explore the local area and further afield.

  Dear Susan, Firstly I can't apologise enough about the washing machine drawer, a complete oversight on our part and something I was obviously not aware of! I feel a quiet word would have been a kinder way of dealing with it maybe and I would have dealt with it immediately. I can assure you it will never happen again! As for the cupboard space a good point and I will have a rejig and free up some space for provisions. Regarding the bin it was actually empty on your arrival but admittedly did get 3/4 filled up during your stay whilst I was gardening. The garden at Wonderland is a full time job and during your stay was the first dry spell we have had so far this year so was desperately trying to catch up on everything all at once. You made it clear you did not want to engage so I tried to stay out of your way as much as I could, I'm sorry if this spoilt your stay. The cottage is rarely empty so gardening does have to be done whilst guests are in residence but I do my best not to intrude and offer guests alternative parts of the garden to enjoy while I am working. I was very upset to receive your review as it is very personal and I work very hard to try and ensure guests enjoy thier experience. I have taken everything you pointed out onboard.

Really sweet homes decorated for Christmas. Beautiful sunset over the water. We had a lovely visit to the Village Inn in Bridge of Earn for lunch, a short drive away.

• "Big plus is the host was very friendly and helpful."

  But there are many appliances at Wonderland but a distinct lack of instructions which would have been helpful, particularly when trying to operate the TV or the DVD. Also the sofa was extremely uncomfortable, which is the last thing you want to relax on after a long day out. The kitchen has impact , but you will soon realise that worktops need to be decluttered when attempting to prepare a meal. Given most self catering places these days also offer instructions on what to do with waste and how to separate, which is always different from council to council, it again would have helped to have instructions what to do with waste. The only option seemed to put it all together……which we didn’t by the way. But the place is charming in its clutter and own very unique way. And this charm makes for a special holiday. Plus you won’t want for a kinder or friendlier host, so we’re reluctant to be even slightly negative.

  There are some lovely and unusual items if you take the time to look, the owner has a real flair that I really wish I have! The bed and sofa were comfortable and the garden was just amazing, a really treat. The owner was lovely and responded immediately if we had any questions. There is a Co-op in the town a short walk away. It is very convenient for site seeing and close to Perth and Dundee if you want a city/town. We visited Glamis and Stirling castle and Falkland Palace all of which we really enjoyed. All in all one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in a lot!

• "I was looking forward to my stay at the Cottage as it appeared to have good reviews, the Cottage’s definitely has potential but was let down by a number of factors."

  First the positives, the location of the cottage was ideal for exploring the surrounding area especially the fife coastal towns. Although the village does not have a lot and what they did have never seemed to be open the local town Cupar is easy to get to in car to pick up any essentials. The house was definitely quirky and unusual as described but I was not prepared for how quirky. In my opinion it was decisively too cluttered with too many pieces that didn’t show the property off to its full potential. We arrived looking forward to the scones many seemed to appreciate only to find the table was set for two with two tea sets and two scones even though the property was clearly booked for three. So after a very long drive we had to share the two between us after having popped to the shop to get some milk. The kitchen bin had not been emptied either and there was lots of fruit flies milling around because of it, so I took the trash bag out- none left as spares to replace so had to go buy some. It was here we found the outside bin was already overflowing with nowhere to put the bin from the kitchen. I contacted the owner who said it should have been emptied a number of days before, said someone would come round to sort it but they never. The bin was still overflowing when we left a week later so whoever is in the property this week will have the same difficulties. The kitchen did not have enough matching cutlery, was a miss match of items that unfortunately had to be washed before use as cups and cutlery were all stained. All the kitchen counters were sticky with jam residue on one, which may account for the flies hanging around which we couldn’t seem to get rid of during our stay they were a nuisance. The oven was abysmal for cooking even on 250 oven chips were not cooked under 45 minutes it just didn’t seem to get up to temperature so be prepared for long cooking time. The house was absolutely full of cobwebs and dead flies, if having as much Knick knacks around at least be prepared to dust things regularly. The beds were pretty comfortable but if you are wanting to store anything in the property be aware most cupboards are full off brick and brack, I could only use a small proportion of the wardrobe in my room and one draw. I do not feel the house is kitted out for 4 grown adults as although it has two double beds there was not enough glasswear for drinks especially if you all wanted wine or a drink in a tall glass. The sofa was terrible uncomfortable and slouchy, and fit two adults with only one other chair i don’t know where the 4th adult would sit. It would also be useful to have a welcome guide for those stopping in the property, there were plenty of books around but nothing contained important information like. Information like wifi passwords which had to be taken off back of router on floor, what to do with recycling, where to put towels when you leave just the basic stuff really. I was also looking forward to exploring the garden so many had gone one about before our visit but the grass and garden was overgrown, with lots of weeds so unfortunately did not get to see the wonderland people have raved about. Despite all the negatives we just got on with it and didn’t let it spoil our trip spending most of the day outdoors exploring local area.

  Dear Heather, I was devastated to read your review. After much deliberation on how to respond I have decided it best to simply offer my apologies that you did not like Wonderland. Kind regards Stella I would like also to assure potential guests that read this review that I work extremely hard to create a magical experience for everyone that visits Wonderland and do my very best to address any issues that may arise during a stay. There are several references in this review that are inaccurate but I feel to respond to each point I disagree with would be unpleasant and argumentative. Wonderland is full of quirks and curiosities and I appreciate it is maybe not for everyone but I feel that most of our reviews will give you a good idea of what to expect. On a final note I would like to say albeit I welcome feedback of all kinds it is very difficult not to take it personally and I would urge people to speak to property owners in person. It is important to me that guests have the best possible holiday experience I can provide. Wonderland is not only my passion it is also my business. A bad review hurts on all levels.

• "Simply amazing!"

  Hands down one of the best properties I've had the pleasure staying in. Strap yourself in because this is going to be a lengthy review. Booking Wonderland Cottage was a simple process, clear instructions given once booked to access the property and the directions were spot on. Plenty of on street parking nearby which was ideal. As soon as you arrive and open the gate the real magic begins. The photographs advertising the property really don't do it justice at all. The cottage has been lovingly decorated with such imagination and creativity. The livingroom is cosy, inviting and has the comfiest sofa ever. Was so good having the use of the wood burning stove to create an even cosier environment. The kitchen is fully pact with all the appliances you could ever need on your stay. The pop of colour from the tiled table and back splash really gives the room a punch of boldness. The kitchen was immaculately clean, actually the entire property was cleaned to a high standard. On entering the kitchen we were greeted by a little basket of goodies for us and a lovely box that contained two homemade lavender scones, which were delicious! Upstairs the two bedrooms are the ideal place to relax after a busy day. The beds are really comfy, plenty of storage space for your belongings in both rooms and so many little touches to make both rooms special in their own way. Everywhere we looked there was something new to discover. Opening little boxes or cupboards you were greeted with hidden gems in tying with the Alice in Wonderland theme. We were still finding little things we had missed 3 days on because there was just so many creative touches its hard to find them all! Fresh towels were there for our arrival in both rooms along with spares in the bathroom. The bathroom is simply gorgeous. The deep rolling bath, the gorgeous bowled sink with all its eye-catching patterns and access to toiletries. I think it was a class act to provide sanitary products for guests, its just another thing to add on top of the other considerate things Stella did for us. Moving onto the garden, well where do I start? Wonderland isn't just within the cottage, it's in the foundations of the beautiful garden. It's clear a lot of effort has gone into the garden, from all the little touches like windchimes, statues and even a bike with a basket full of flowers. As you work your way up the garden widens and there is a cute little area with chairs and an area to relax in. Stella kindly gave us a tour through the special door showing us her wooden hut, the secret den and lots of other amazing features of this property. At night time we were so grateful that Stella set up the fire pit for us and even gave us some marshmallows and sticks to enjoy with the kids. Once dark the garden transforms with all the twinkly lights that wind around the trees and over the path, the solar stake lights that flicker fire and the various lit gems that scatter the garden. Every moment of our 3 night stay was always met with kindness and though fullness. We really felt welcomed and appreciated from the beginning to the very end. It genuinely was a fantastic stay and would highly recommend anyone looking for a break away in a wonderful location then Wonderland Cottage is the place to book. The kids loved it and didn't want to leave, to be fair either did me or my friend! As a side note...if you have got this far...take the bad review that you might spot on here with a pinch of salt. Not entirely sure where they stayed but certainly wasn't the same place we went to. Don't let that review put you off booking because you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Stella for having us and look forward to visiting again ❤️

  ... is named Exactly that for a reason, because it's full of wonder. It is beautiful, cosy, spotlessly clean, and along with the amazing gardens, was enchanting and magical. We arrived with our hairy wean (it was his pawliday!) Attention to detail in the cottage is fabulous, Stella was on hand at all times when we needed her. She was the most lovely and delightful human being, and nothing was ever a problem when you needed her. She is always on hand and is contactable on the mobile number given. The kitchen felt like it was mine (Stella knew this) I can only imagine the gardens in summer when in full bloom they would be beautiful. Stella was working on them as we were leaving.' Down the rabbit hole!.....WOW! Absolutely fabulous. Make sure you take your groceries before you go, essentials, Fairy Liquid, milk, sugar, bread, Stella provides beautiful lavender scones and oatcakes. There is an array of herbal tea bags, the only supermarket in the village is the Co-op. The towns of Anstruther and St Andrews are both absolutely stunning and suitable for your dog as they both have beaches.Newborough has loads of local walks. I would have no hesitation in returning to Wonderland

  Property looks lovely on first sight but the wardrobes were full of linen so used our cases to keep our clothes in, the cupboards in the kitchen were full with partly used foodstuffs. We only had a light breakfast so didn't need them to store any food. Unfortunately I was looking for a teapot to use to put tea into but of all the teapots on display only one was grease free. The sofa wasn't the one in the picture, it was very low and uncomfortable to sit in, however, the armchair also not in the pictures was comfy. The mattress on the bed in the main bedroom was of poor quality. We could feel the springs through the mattress topper. We used the duvet from the other bed to lie on which fixed the issue. Some of the doors didn't close properly so would have been an issue if there was a fire. The garden will be special in spring, just a bit soggy when we went which can't be helped. I never met Stella, she met my husband and said she'd sent me a message that I never received. All in all it was a good base to explore the area. Needs accurate pictures and some maintenance to sort out the issues mentioned.

  Every detail was so thoughtful and authentic; all the surprise compartments, every lovingly selected and customised piece of period furniture and decoration. Everything was immaculately clean and well presented. We have seldom felt so at home. We really needed this escape from reality after a turbulent few years - Stella’s willingness to accommodate us in every way, her welcoming nature (and scones!) and the personal tour of the larger grounds - all of it just brimmed with warmth and kindness. The whole experience has been exactly what we needed and hoped for, and so much more. It is clear that Wonderland Cottage and its gorgeous rambling gardens is so much more than just a business - it emanates warmth, love, creativity and magic. The location itself is very tranquil, set off the main road through a little close, so there is no traffic disturbance which we loved. The garden is enclosed so was dog-safe, and indeed dog-approved. Thank you for making us feel so welcome in this little gem of a cottage, we hope to come back soon x

  Thank you so much for your lovely words! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you all and welcoming you to Wonderland. I very much look forward to your return. Stella ❤️ Property Owner

  Only thing was we didnt anticipate everywhere being closed and realised it was a bank holiday. Nipped to Co Op, bought pizzas but only criticism is the oven is very very slow unless we had it on wrong setting! All instructions re our stay were accurate. Very happy with stay. Garden is amazing and closed in if you have a dog with you.

  Beautiful cottage and magical garden. It’s a perfect place for an escape. We met the owner yesterday, Stella, she is lovely and made us feel very welcome. Our dog Dash was very happy too and the garden, being enclosed was perfect for him. Thank you can’t wait to return to this beautiful, magical place.

  The cottage was even quirkier and more beautiful that we could imagine. It had everything we needed to eat in and we enjoyed dinner in the garden. The personal touches were so thoughtful. I stayed with my 1 year old and moved a few things out the way but it was very suitable for him. We met the owner during our stay and she couldn't have Been more helpful. I can see why people would return here again and again. The beds were very comfortable, the bath was stunning and all round just a perfect and cosy little treasure xx

  There are so many intriguing surprises inside and out. The house is cosy with Sky TV, a lovely well equipped kitchen, very comfy bedrooms and the sumptuous bathroom. The garden has lots of interesting features with colourful plants and shrubs and a pretty patio area. There's a good takeaway and well stocked co-op across the road. Would highly recommend this place and hope to return again soon.

• "A quirky, unusual cottage, with almost every room having a different theme, so if you like detail and 'stuff' then you will find it interesting."

  It's very warm (great in February) and comfortable with good access to a range of shops. Tucked away behind the main street means it is a bit dark, especially downstairs, with no real outlook, only onto the back of some houses and whereas we got parked it may be a problem at busier times on the high street. The garden was a bit untidy, with several projects ongoing, but because it wasn't warm enough to sit out this didn't cause any problems. Overall we felt it was good value for a winter break.

  Hi Barbara, just to say thanks for your feedback. I am always keen to know how I can improve on giving a great guest experience. I'm so sorry if it wasn't clear that guest parking available on the drive! We are hoping to have the garden ship shape for the summer ! Property Owner

  It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The mattress in the ‘Alice’ room was too soft for our liking and the lock on the front door was a bit tricky but that is our only negatives for this quirky, quaint cottage. Newburgh is well placed for visiting Perth, Dundee and Fife. Lovely walks from the cottage along the Tay and up Ormiston Hill where the views were spectacular!

• "Absolutely amazing cottage!"

  I originally chose this place to help with content for my business as each of the rooms were so pretty and interesting, but we felt so peaceful and relaxed here we just enjoyed actually being on holiday! The bath is incredible, the beds comfy, the fire wonderful and the village is so nice and polite. We have a German shepherd, Caucasian shepherd mix so he's very big and guarding but Baloo was so calm and comfortable here. Loved the wooden and cool floors when us humans needed the fire or heating on! The only thing I had a bit of a struggle with was the shower door, it could do with a latch so stay shut and keep the water in and the garden isn't secure for big dogs/escapees but we are used to that! Thank you for everything, Stella was so helpful throughout the holiday when we had questions. Will definitely be coming back!

• "What a fabulous cottage!"

  Lovely, quirky setting inside loosely based around Alice in Wonderland. We met our landlady who was really welcoming and very helpful. There were a few things that needed to either be replaced or added into the inventory in the house but they were very quickly sorted. We had a lovely, chilled stay with plenty of walks. Highly recommend the distillery tour at the edge of the town! Places of interest are all around and easily visited in a day. Plenty of walking paths and the Fife Coastal Path was great with beautiful views along the river Tay. There is a well stocked shop for food supplies however, places to eat locally were not in evidence. There only seemed to be a takeaway open at the time of visiting, pubs did not appear to be providing food, maybe lockdown related….. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

• "Lovely, quirky cottage located conveniently in the middle of the village."

  Lovely welcoming touches like milk in the fridge and a box of eat me treats. Garden is slightly overgrown but adds to the character of the cottage. Wonderland themed bedroom was particularly lovely, and the bathroom. Comfortable and spacious. Packed cleaning products following previous bad experience with self-catering cottage elsewhere (also different management company - not sykes) Packed all back into the car unused as the cottage was spotless! No terrestrial tv at the cottage - not a problem if you are happy with smart tv/ fire stick then it’s ok. Could also log in to personal netflix etc accounts. Wifi signal good. Mobile signal with our provider patchy. Parking could be an issue but we had no problem during our stay. Managed to park outside. If there is a problem 5 minute walk - public car park no parking fee at the top of the hill on the way into the village (fife coastal path route) Good location for exploring locally no further than 45 mins or so from any ‘tourist’ destination. Felt like a home from home. 2 pubs within walking distance. Didn’t sample either though. Chinese takeaway very friendly - decent food. Newburgh a ‘normal’ village rather than one geared to tourists. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend the cottage - lovely place to stay.

• "So, first of all, the cottage is lovely, exactly what what you see in the photographs."

  We used all of the facilities with no problems, heating, cooking, wi-fi all great. Maybe a basic Freeview box for the TV would help if your not OK with a smart TV. The garden could do with a little TLC although just a bit of a tidy really. Communication with the owner again, great, there was a fault with the key safe but all sorted by the time we got there. There were a few issues we thought we need to highlight as it did impact on our stay. Parking, and local facilities. There is no dedicated parking and its pretty much first come first served outside the cottage, otherwise, its street parking. And with the street parking, there are local time restrictions so you need to be on your toes to be aware of them. More than once, we did end up parking 500 yards down the main street just to get an overnight space. The other issue is local facilities in Newburgh itself. This is a small working town not really set up for tourists or visitors. There is 1 takeaway shop, 1 small bar (to be fair, we didn't go in as it looked very small and we were conscious of the local COVID-19 rules), and 1 hotel (not open for accommodation, not doing food, cash only, and the rear beer garden is nothing more than the drayman's delivery yard). There is small local (Co-Op) which does have everything you need for self entertaining. All in all, the cottage is lovely, its just the local facilities that let it down slightly.
