  I spent nearly £1600-00 on 4 nights at this cottage as I thought i would treat the family to something special , the reason for paying so much was my expectation was high due the cost of other cottages on your site .

  I feel completely ripped off as this cottage did not come up to the £400 per night experience expected . On arrival the owner told us there was no WI FI ...having 2 teenagers in the party wasn't the best start , the cottage was small and cramped and reminded me of a sauna as it was timber clad through out .not to a good standard either , we decided we would make the best of it but here are some of the faults we experienced... cuboards hadn't been cleaned ..fridge filthy ..microwave hadn't been cleaned ..sofa had something sticky on the back of it ..don't believe the place had been cleaned before change over ...no washing up liquid ...no tablets for the dish washer ..no tea coffee salt and pepper ...chewing gum stuck to the bottom of the basin in the sink ...all linen and towels were tired and grey in colour...cushions on sofa thread bare ...kettle needed descaled . The site has a picture of the cottage side on but what it doesn't show is the farm building with farm materials and machinery for you to look out at in the front when you exit the cottage The bottom bedroom was so small you had to push the bed back to get the door closed then there was a sharp bit on the bed that cut my brother in law When the pool was advertised it forgot to mention that it was situated in the owners house some 100 yards from the cottage ,you had to call the owner to make sure you could get in . On New Year's Day we phoned and were told that it was closed but she would open it up for us this was not mentioned when booking , we also run out of toilet paper and were given 1 roll between 6 of us , the whole experience was unprofessional to say the least . I am absolutely fizzing with the fact I paid so much for a place I wouldn't have paid more than £600-00 for now that I have been and experienced the place . I am now waiting to hear what feedback you give me before making my next move ...your website has helped in this deception and you should take some of the responsibility for this debacle . Yours ripped off Alistair Harkness

  We were extremely disappointed in our cottage on arrival.

  The advertisement said that it sleeps 6. Which it has enough beds for 6 and 2 bathrooms, however the sitting area and table does not accommodate a family of 6. The dining area chairs are right in front of the doors to a bedroom and makes it too hard to move, the sitting area barely seats 4, and makes it tight to walk. The cottage had cob webs, the show screen had mold and the outside table was moldy. The cottage was overpriced. At the price advertised, we expected a clean and suitably sized cottage, this was not the case at all. There wasn't even paper towel and we needed to request an extra dish cloth and tea towel. The freezer made a beeping noise if you used it, and one of the stove burners didn't work. The cottage is located on a kennel / working farm and while we were there our room backed onto the area where they were working, you could here dogs barking, people working and machinery from all times during the early morning and day. The pool was nice, however we were not provided with any extra towels. I would not recommend this cottage to anyone.

  This was the most delightful cottage!

  Spotlessly clean, beautiful location and very well equipped! It has everything you could possibly need - including a washing line!! So many places boast a washing machine but have nowhere to dry it!! The spiral staircase could prove problematic to anyone with mobility issues or young children but we didn’t have any of those problems! Lynnette was lovely, introducing herself when we arrived and, although we didn’t have any issues, I’m sure if we had, she would have sorted them immediately! The garden was perfect for our dog and it was great being able to leave the doors open so he could go in and out as he pleased! The only downside - we couldn’t get to stay longer! We visit Scotland to see family regularly and we will definitely look no further than Lynnette and her wonderful cottage for every visit, from here on in!!

  We booked the cottage for 3 nights over the new year break and this cosy £1500 which I thought on the expensive side - this was definitely the case given the facilities!

  The owners are charging high end prices but not delivering high end quality. The beds were really uncomfortable and my husband and I had to sleep separately for the whole 3 nights just to get sleep. It is advertised to sleep 6 but the lay out would only accommodate people with a 3, 1 and 2 due to how beds arranged which is most unlikely. The cottage is tiny with cheap furniture which again was uncomfortable. The pool and hot tub were only available for certain periods and were not great - I think the chemicals were incorrectly applied to be honest. I have to say that if we would have paid half this amount I would not be providing this feedback as you do get what you pay for but on this occasion I felt we didn’t (despite the owner Lynette being lovely and helpful!) I’m afraid we won’t be returning ....

  The cottage was great for our 1 week stay!

  Spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything you might need. Located in a very quiet area with easy parking, close to main roads and the town of Forfar for any daily shopping you might need. Host is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Location is great for exploring most of Scotland by car, and there are a lot of interesting places to see nearby too - Glamis castle, Scone palace and Perth museum to name a few. We would book it again without hesitation! Look for the gate with the stone pillars with little rabbits on top on arrival and enjoy your stay!
