What our customers say about their holidays

  I am grateful to Woodside House for providing such an amazing house (set in extensive private grounds) for me to use for a significant family celebration.

  Prior to arriving I received messages, welcoming me and my family and a lovely bottle of wine was provided. Thank you. It was made clear that someone would be available at all times should I need this but there was no intrusion. Ten adults (ranging from 21 to 88 years) and two well behaved dogs were accommodated very well. The house was very comfortable and warm and the size of the rooms allowed us all to relax easily and move about (even with a zimmer frame). The house has its quirks. Not all the lights work, window shutters might not close due to radiators, there may not be enough wine glasses for everyone (but a trip to the supermarket sorted that one) and crockery is located in different places in the kitchen, dining room and hallway. It all added to the experience though. The main living space is a lovely bright room and the dining kitchen has a welcoming open fire (matches, firelighters & logs, etc are not provided). The lighting in the kitchen could, however, be better especially when cooking in the evening. The entrance hallway is gigantic. It was really helpful to have a downstairs toilet (that also has a very impressive state of the art shower). The house has a striking stairway leading up to a lovely hallway off which are all the bedrooms. The bedrooms are bright and comfortable as are the two bath/shower rooms upstairs each with a wc. The private grounds are great. I wanted a venue that could accommodate my family for a happy occasion and Woodside House enabled this. Happy memories were made in this house and for this I am extremely grateful. Thank you.

  What a stunning place!

  Stayed here for a week in September 2021, this had been postponed from March 2021 due to the pandemic! Trip up from Glasgow was lovely and very scenic, but please note this is a secluded house, which was what we wanted, roads are fine until the last wee bit which is a dirt track through a farm. The farmer is so nice and friendly too. Anyway, the house has everything, comfort, luxury, views, peace and quiet and an abundance of wildlife. We were a family of 5 adults plus a dog and you can definitely have your own space in this property. The walks are lovely round the property. The kitchen and main living space were my favorite and it is a lovely place to be sitting watching the pheasants and red kites go by with your morning coffee. One thing to remember is a torch as it is very dark there at night. The cleanliness of the house was exceptional, the handbook and instructions for all the appliances was incredible too, they have thought of everything, We also had to make an emergency visit to the vet whilst staying here and guess what they have thought of this too and gave several vets numbers in the information pack, Fantastic. The laundry/boiler room has all the equipment you need and more. If you do visit this property, be sure to visit The Drovers for a meal (dog friendly in the bar) and the Redwings Mountains Sanctuary (also dog friendly) close by. Two lovely places to spend your time. Will hopefully be back again in the near future.

  The house is set in lovely grounds well away from the main road.

  There was nine of us staying over for four days all guys and on the website it said three doubles and two singles. I got in touch with the owner and asked if anything could be done to have more singles. They came back and had managed to make nine singles up, great flexibility, thanks for that. The house is rustic, comfortable, lovely and very spacious, a lot of the time we spent chatting around the large dinning room table. Beds are very comfortable and the showers are to die for. On day three a Saturday, we were all just leaving when I saw steam coming out of the downstairs shower room. A hot water pipe had burst and the shower and toilet were flooded as was the carpet into the main hall. Found the stop cock switched the mains water off and phoned the owner. He said leave a key and go enjoy yourselves, a plumber will be there within two hours. I got a text two and a half hours later saying the leak had been fixed and the house was being cleaned. We came back in the evening and you would never have known there had been a flood, brilliant response time, totally on the ball. You couldn’t ask for more. Great stay, would recommend the house to anyone and we will be back in the future.

  Glen Cruick is quite possibly the most perfect holiday cottage we've ever stayed at.

  It's a real home away from home. THANK YOU! The photos are accurate, it actually is that beautiful. The house is immaculate and well catered. The number of walks from the door kept us busy all week, the dogs loved it! I'd love to visit again in the spring or summer...or both! If you're thinking about booking, let me tell you why you should: 1. Great for dogs - spacious fully enclosed garden and a myriad of fantastic walks from the doorstep. 2. Secluded - happily had a cuppa in my dressing gown outside in the morning. 3. Laundry facilities - are brilliant and everything dries in super quick time in the boiler room. I could have packed much lighter! 4. WiFi - decent WiFi for where it is, no bother using Netflix and BBC iPlayer on the TV. Though there is an extensive DVD collection too. 5. Remote but accessible - only a short drive to the A90 making it easy to get to shops and local attractions, but far enough in to the country to feel cut off from the world (in a good way!) 6. Hosts - info provided before the trip was exceptional. Directions to the property are spot on and easy to follow. Book today - you will not be disappointed!

  The house, is magnificent!

  There isn't much more I can say. From the moment you drive up the driveway and see the house, to second you open in the front door and take in your first steps you know you are somewhere special. You have a feeling of living like 'royalty' for your stay. The house has original features, which in my opinion make the house even more special, and you truly appreciate the history to the house. The owners also allowed me to take my small dog, which was great to be able to enjoy it as it a full family. We enjoyed a lot of time in the dining area around the real fire, toasting marshmallows and spending quality time together as a family. The hallway is exceptional, and the living room area is also a beautiful location to enjoy the sun and garden areas, admiring the wildlife. I cannot fault the location, a quiet secluded spot, with easy access to surrounding areas, and local amenities - what more could you want? I truly hope I get to stay here again, what a memorable and magnificent experience!!!
