Communication with host

I found it awkward to have to login to stays to communicate with the host. With other stays I have found that the host reaches out through email, which is much more convenient.

I, (89) stayed four nights with my son (63). We were very comfortable. The cottage is well stocked with everything one might need for a long term stay, even some DIY tools. I broke the chain on the plug of the kitchen sink but thanks to the tools was able to fix it. Ipnever met Stephani but messaged her and found her extremely helpful answering my texts instantly. There are many small things that one, used to living in the lap of luxury, might do to the property to improve it, but they are not essentials. I give this property 150/100% but would deduct 5% because of a very weak shower. That still gives it 145/100%. Stephani did agree to pop over to have a look at the shower but I stopped her. Overall an excellent retreat in a beautiful location with an excellent and willing host. I highly recommend it. I think with its central heating it would be a cosy place for a wnter

Compact but comfortable

Very pleasant cottage with everything you need for self catering holiday. Some nice homely touches. Great outdoor space and conservatory with fabulous views. Good location for exploring. Would be very tight for five people as its a compact use of space. Worked great for us.

Forfar

Enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed and was comfy and in a quiet spot. It was mixed weather but the house was warm and the conservatory was ideal. Great views from it. Ideal spot to travel to the surrounding places of interest. Saw Forfar beat East Fife and then fish and chips. Ideal.

Room with a view

We had stayed at this cottage 2 years ago and been impressed by its location and its beautiful garden. We were just as impressed this time, the views from the conservatory are lovely. We will certainly consider visiting again in the future.

Happy holidays

Lovely cottage. Steph a great help. Perfect for our wee dog. Don’t go with the leaflets that are there. They’re years out of date for eating and the butcher. Thoroughly enjoyed our week and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Even the weather was beautiful.
