Previous reviews from our fantastic guests:

“Amazing place to stay. Such a gorgeous cottage. We absolutely loved it! Lovely helpful hosts. A perfect stay.”

well located within easy walking distance of bars, coffee shops etc. We were two couples and the place was ideal for that with the two bathrooms. It is well appointed with everything you need, all very clean. Would definitely go back!”

“I recently had a wonderful 4 night stay at Kirk Wynd Cottage when I was visiting for a wedding at nearby Rottal Steading in Glen Clova. Following a series of unexpected travel nightmares, I arrived later than planned and in the dark, but despite the slightly unusual situation of the parking space and lockbox, the incredibly clear photos and instructions meant that I still found and accessed the cottage easily. The cottage is beautifully renovated and had absolutely everything needed for a comfortable stay. Kirriemuir is a great base for visiting the stunning Angus Glens and castles nearby.”
