Probably the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We love this part of the world, and Greenford enhanced our visit even more. This was our first time staying here and it certainly won’t be the last.The cottage has everything you could ask for and is so comfortable. It’s also dog friendly, with a very secure garden. You can see for miles and there’s plenty of wildlife to keep you entertained. The owners are easy to contact and are incredibly helpful; and we can heartily recommend the eggs and meat. We’ll be back as soon as we can be!

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. No neighbours. We had a very peaceful week. Lovely walks straight from the door. Not too far from Dundee if you had children with you and wanted things to do. Fabulous food close by at the Ardler Tavern . Will definitely book again

Greenford farm was well equipped, comfortable and ideal for a quiet getaway. Jenny was very helpful regarding charging our EV. Ideal for those who love wildlife as there was plenty to see including hares and deer.
