Cottage Stay August 2009

Delighted Scotland Tourists Surrey, British Columbia, Canada
Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers) were delighted with our stay at this cottage. We would highly recommend this property for almost any type of vacation, from a romantic getaway to families with any age children looking to spend some quality time together. The cottage was even better than advertised and exceeded our expectations. Yvonne and Chris were extremely gracious and had obviously spent a great deal of effort anticipating their guests needs. There were many thoughtful added touches. The location was great for exploring central and eastern Scotland and was indeed just a short drive into Edinburgh. One nice surprise was that there was a large 24 hour grocery superstore about 10 minutes away. Easy to drop in after a long day of sightseeing. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer to relax and enjoy the cottage with it's library, lovely garden and the adjoining woodland. Alas, perhaps next time.

Review Submitted: July 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Very friendly owners. Lots of information including maps in cottage which was helpful in planning our sightseeing.
Modern kitchen with large American fridge and large dishwasher; everything you need to make large or small meals. Fire place in living room was great. Large pretty back garden which we wished we had spent more time in.
Excellent location for either Edinburgh or travel to north to Perth and surrounding countryside. Cottage was clean, was as described, and would recommend to friends
Owner's Response: Great that the cottage and area appeals to all ages and nationalities.

100 Acre Wood

parentswithtoddlers Sydney, NSW, Australia
Review Submitted: February 4, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
A beautiful warm welcome of a roaring log fire set the tone for our stay. The owners are thoughtful but discrete - leaving everything you may need but not intruding. Our pre-school children were too young to fully apprecciate the woodland behind the cottage, although my son kept looking for Winnie the Pooh and friends to appear! I'm sure it would also make a wonderful adventure playground for older children. The games cupboard proved a godsend when weather kept us inside!
Our visit was primarily to visit relatives so we'd didn't get to test many of the wonderful suggestions for day trips and local sightseeing that were thoughtfully provided in the reading material in the cottage.

feeling like home

porridge Germany/Weser
Review Submitted: November 13, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Allthough we travelled with a little child (always an unpredictable adventure!) we felt very comfortable because we found everything we need in this charming ,well equiped cottage. Every family member (at age from 18 month up to 52 years old) felt like home and we were very satisfied with the choose of this property. Nice atmosphere, decorated with much loving care and a good base for many day-trips....
Ich wäre froh, wenn es so herrlich bequeme Matratzen auch in Deutschland gäbe, ich habe herrlich geschlafen! Unser 8-jähriger Sohn hat beim Abschied heiße Tränen vergossen und wir mussten ihm versprechen, wieder zu kommen. Braucht es da noch weitere Empfehlungen?
Owner's Response: Always delighted to have appreciative families.
