Lovely clean cottage

Cottage is in a lovely quiet location and is very well equipped- beds are very coverage too. I didn’t have much communication from the hosts as didn’t need it- only downside was getting told off for putting the radiators on. I couldn’t get the towels dry overnight for a shower the next day- weather was too wet to hand them out and they wouldn’t dry in the cottage.

Perfect mini break

So lucky to have found this wonderful cottage for our annual get-together of family and friends. Accommodation is first class for comfort and amenity. And the on-site spa is truly a luxurious addition. Ideal location in the beautiful Angus countryside. Perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Many thanks to our hosts, Paula and Robert, we look forward to seeing you again.

Great property, however some issues. Large damage deposit was required and the pool/spa area was expensive. Hosts could have been more accommodating and did not work well with young people.

Das wahrlich perfekte Ferienhaus!

Wir verreisen seit 10 Jahren mit 4 Kindern und haben jedes Jahr Ferienhäuser genutzt, haben also eine Menge Erfahrungen gesammelt. Dieses Ferienhaus ist das beste und perfekteste jemals gewesen. Perfekt ausgestattet, wahnsinnig gemütlich und die perfekte Abrundung für einen tollen Urlaub in Schottland. Robert und Paula sind die perfekten Gastgeber, die alle Wünsche möglich machen und uns nicht nur mit Ihrer professionellen Art begeistert haben, sondern auch menschlich. Absolute Empfehlung von uns!!!!! We have been traveling with 4 children for 10 years and have used holiday homes every year so have gained a lot of experience. This vacation home is the best and most perfect ever. Perfectly equipped, incredibly comfortable and the perfect way to round off a great holiday in Scotland. Robert and Paula are the perfect hosts, who make all wishes possible and not only inspired us with their professional manner, but also as people. Absolute recommendation from us!!!!!
