    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Elizabeth - Verified booking

      We were blessed with very good weather making Bannatyne Lodge even more enjoyable.

      It's very airy and the lounge is very comfortable. Enclosed, private garden at the back, morning sunshine front and back, but plenty of shade can be found at the back in the afternoon. You can be straight out of the gate and onto a number of paths, ideal for dog walking. Or, you are on the western outskirts of the Sidlaw Hills and with Pitlochry and Braemar being just over an hour's drive away you are in a good location for more serious hill walking. Newtyle itself, a small, quiet friendly village, small well stocked post office / general shop ( bigger supermarkets, 20 minutes drive away), award winning butchers ( Piries, 'World Champion' pies and sausages!) and small, clean, friendly pub, The Commercial with good 'join in' acoustic music sessions, Wednesday nights. Andrea and Peter, owners of the Lodge, very friendly, considerate, helpful but very respectful too of your privacy. Our thanks to them. Overall, Bannatyne Lodge a wonderful place to stay for a quiet, relaxed holiday on the outskirts of a village which is a great place for easier local walks but with easy access to coast and mountain.

    • Katrina - Verified booking

      The cottage is situated in a very charming and remote part of the village which ensures that you feel completely immersed in the countryside and local walks are literally a stones throw from the cottage.

      There are some lovely touches within the cottage making it feel homely as well as cosy, we did indulge in the wood burning stove which was a favourite of ours. Taking into consideration the current Covid-19 situation our host was very careful to ensure everything was done at a distance and they were not intrusive at all, despite being only at the end of the driveway if we did need them. Considering current climes we did find the lack of a fridge freezer, or indeed a stand alone freezer slightly limiting in that we needed to do a shop everyday as we were not able to dine out in the local area, equally as we did all our cooking for the week in the cottage the hob was rather dated and without markings, rather confusing to work, however, the oven was super. A few minor updates to the kitchen would make this a 10 out of 10 for us. We could not fault anything else, even the sun shone most of the week!

    • Peter - Verified booking

      We were disappointed with certain aspects, it advised a Bbq ,non, iron and ironing board, non, the house smelt of dogs ,I am allergic to dust, you could literally right your name in the dust in certain areas, around the fireplace, s.

      The wood burner had not been cleaned it was filthy, we did not use. The kitchen was clean, along with the bathrooms and bedrooms. The living room was very cold, the furniture was uncared for and covered in dog hair. The tv was to small for the room, had to strain to see. This property has potential but does not deserve the premium price tag, If offering supply, in good working order clean and loved.There is an epidemic which requires a high standard of cleanliness, this didn't reach every day standards. I would re think your star rating on this property. The area is beautiful, wonderful walks and outdoor pursuits, but these could be had at any accommodation in the area. No control of the heating, and some cold evenings.

    • Gill - Verified booking

      Andrea and Peter couldn’t of been kinder to us, this has been by far the nicest cottage we have stayed at.

      Yet. The cottage was set in the most beautiful part of Angus. The cottage was huge, well equipped with such lovely touches of eggs delivered to us and left on our door step. Freshly cut flowers in the house, beautiful large bath, comfy beds and a large enclosed garden for our dog to spend ages sniffing around as there was a mature garden with lots of trees, just beautiful! A beautiful log burner with complimentary logs was put on in July in Scotland but I think that was more out of decadence and sheer luxury but made for a very special evening. We all so enjoyed our weeks holiday at this beautiful holiday home and cannot recommend it highly enough, thank you so much!

      Absolutely Stunning

      What a beautiful property! Had such an amazing weekend at Oak Tree Cottage. Cannot fault the communication from booking and throughout before our arrival, and once there we were met with a beautiful house and stunning views. Everything is to such a high standard and the decor was just amazing with every mod con a person could need. We enjoyed a wonderful time in the hot tub and Dunkeld was a short taxi ride away. Property has more than enough space for people making for such an enjoyable and comfortable experience. Will definitely book another trip here in the future, thank you to the owners for providing the venue for a wonderful relaxing weekend.
