  • "After a long drive to the cottage it was great to find milk and goodies in the fridge so we could pop the kettle on and relax straight away."

    We soon felt at home in the light and airy kitchen and the vase of freshly cut flowers on the table was a joy.The cottage was clean, comfortable and spacious and some thought had gone into providing all the little touches that make a difference. We had good weather for the week and the location was ideal as a base for exploring the area. Castles,beaches, wildlife and great food,what more could you want?

    Thank you very much for your kind feedback, we're really glad that you enjoyed your stay and that the weather was also good for you! Property Owner

  • "The property is marketed as outstanding and presumably I’m paying for that rating."

    Maybe it was outstanding 11 years ago when they started but it is most decidedly not outstanding now! There are various issues: strong oil smells from boiler, no privacy at all, messy and unkempt outlook, inadequate utensils, dishwasher and oven well past their best, intermittent problems with flushing toilets and the Wi-Fi. The property needs a refurb urgently and in my opinion it is significantly overpriced.

    Following your message in our visitor book, "We enjoyed our stay, very nice clean cottage. Thanks for the goodies...." etc and having hopefully been as prompt as possible with addressing the issues that you actually brought to our attention, it is saddening to read your diatribe on this feedback platform. We aim to make everyone as welcome and comfortable as possible, but certain things such as rural Wi-Fi crossed with torrential rain are beyond our powers. Inadequate utensils presumably means you were short of something we haven't thought of or that hasn't been highlighted by previous guests, but which you could have asked for whilst complaining about the Wi-Fi? (Which incidentally was reported to BT immediately and which seems to be working perfectly since). We have continually maintained and upgraded this property over the 11 years since we first opened it for holiday makers and though the oven and dishwasher whilst brand new then may not be state of the art now, they are by most standards perfectly adequate. Had you brought the apparent issue of strong smells from the boiler to our attention, we would of course have investigated. We now have done so and found nothing untoward or out of the ordinary for an indoor oil fired boiler . Further and to be 100% sure we have booked a second engineer to give a confirmed opinion. With regards to privacy, the cottage is clearly advertised and photographed as being attached to other properties and as such other people are likely to be present in the outdoor areas. "Overpriced"? The price for 3 standard rooms at the local Premier Inn for the equivalent dates would have been £1633.50 to put things in to perspective. As with all feedback, we have assessed yours for how we can improve things, but " Net Curtains" , maybe not. Property Owner

  • "Stayed for a week with my family and had a wonderful time."

    Really comfortable and well equipped cottage - we all loved staying here and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Great location if you want to spend time both on the coastline (e.g. Arbroath only 20 min drive) and the local hills/mountains (e.g. Sidlaw hills 25 min drive, Angus Glens 45-50 min drive). Would recommend!

  • "We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Courtyard Cottage."

    ..with a warm welcome given by its owners. It’s situated in beautiful and peaceful surroundings, well equipped, catering for adults and children alike. Better than home from home. Apart from some confusion on Sykes behalf, regarding whether the ‘good house-keeping’ bond was applicable to this property, our experience of booking was hassle free. In addition, we question why Sykes offer a ‘breakage’ policy, when a good house-keeping bond exists for that property.

    On the nice days the scenery outside was breathtaking with the view of the large trees and the crows flying. On the rainy days we were shielded from the harms of the storm and kept ourselves entertained with the provided xbox and TV. On the day of arrival we were welcomed with complimentary cupcakes which was a heartwarming gesture.
