What our customers say about their holidays

  This property is in an exceptional location.

  We loved watching the hills as the sun was rising and falling. It is very rural which suited us perfectly. There are farm buildings on the same plot so we also saw some farm workers coming and going which added to the rural experience. The cottage itself has some very good points but also needs a little bit of updating to bring it completely up to spec. Mattresses could do with replacing or adding memory foam toppers. Sofa cushions are also on verge of needing replacing and tv could be replaced with a newer smart tv. Having said that the cottage is huge and generally well decorated. Our dog loved running around in the safe, enclosed garden. The owner Hazel is amazing. We had an issue on Sunday morning when the oven broke- the heating element had gone. I contacted Hazel and she brought us an air fryer and slow cooker to help us out- which was very much appreciated. There was a new oven installed on the Tuesday afternoon. Problems like this are always a possibility- how the owner handles it is the thing that makes the difference. This was handled superbly! The little basket of goodies on arrival was also a nice touch. We loved this cottage and it’s truly special location and would return in a heartbeat!

  Fiona made us feel so welcome with simple little touches, like the couple of Xmas presents for us on arrival.

  The cottage has everything you could possibly need by way of facilities. The pub two doors down is quiet and very welcoming. They welcomed our two well behaved Jack Russell terriers. The cottage is well located to get to either Glasgow or Edinburgh and is a great base to explore both. Although you feel quite remote, we were surprised that there were over 300 restaurants on Just Eat, should we have wanted to order any sort of cuisine! But the kitchen is superbly equiped and we had our evening meals in. Carluke and Lanark are only 15 minutes away, both have good supermarkets to cater for every taste. The bed is very comfy and the bed linen is fresh and clean. The garden is spacious and I am sure would be lovely to sit out in when it is a bit warmer. The central heating is easy to operate and the cottage is well insulated, so we were like toast in the evenings. The shower is easy to use and plenty of hot water. This was a lovely little holiday for me and my partner and we will definitely be back, if available, in the future.

  This cottage well exceeded our expectations from the pictures.

  It is so spacious and comfortably throughout and really is a home from home. The garden was perfect for our two young dogs with secure fencing all around the cottage, enabling us to leave the doors open at all times we were in the property. The kitchen is well furnished with everything you need for every meal. The lounge is just amazing and very comfortable with a dining table where our grandson sat and played his games and watched his tablet. This cottage is somewhere I could definitely live and the early morning and evening walks with the dogs was so peaceful with no noise whatsoever. There is hardly any traffic on the small road which adds to the peace. The garden is a lovely sun trap and I sat most mornings with my coffee on the picnic bench. A truly brilliant property which we will return to and enjoy the peace and comfort that White Hillocks Cottage offers and allows.

  We had a fantastic time at Sky Blue Cottage.

  Over the years we've been on several holidays around the UK in cottages and by far this was the best that we've been too. The facilities were brilliant and Mrs Orr couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. You are in a quiet place, people were friendly and even though you think you're in the middle of nowhere, you're never really too far away from Glasgow/Edinburgh, all the towns in between and several Country Parks are nearby too! Our dog loved the wood walk, which is literally a few minutes walk from the cottage. We saw deer on the dog walk and could hear a Woodpecker rattling away every morning as we walked through the wood! The back garden was secure for our dog, a Jack Russell, and he loved running around in it. We without hesitation would recommend this cottage to anyone that was looking for a relaxing break.

  This is the second time we have stayed at Whitehillocks.

  Love the new flooring throughout, makes the cottage feel warmer. Lovely welcome hamper there on arrival which even included some lovely treats for our dog. Hazel had even written us a beautiful card for our stay. We really love coming here. Beautiful views even when the weather isn’t great. It’s so quiet which is what keeps us going back. We enjoyed so many wonderful walks in and around Glen Clova and Glen Esk. The Arbroath cliff trail is a must if you love the coast! Far enough away from Kirriemuir to not be caught up in town life but not too far away for the essentials. We got an Asda delivery the first night so it is accessible for the supermarket delivery. We will be returning again next year and we cannot wait!
