St Louan's

The property is beautiful and very spacious. Three ensuite bedrooms. Kids loved it! Enough space to even play hide and seek. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen , all the appliances were in a clean good working order. Very close to all amenities, three minutes walk to CO-OP across the bridge. 45min drive to Glenshee ski resort. The road is absolutely stunning! Beautiful area. I would definitely recommend it!

There are a few things we didn't like: * there is no parking next to the cottage even for loading/unloading. You have to carry your stuff for 200-300m depending on how far down the street you managed to find a space to park. As we were coming for a ski trip we had a lot of skiing gear to carry. * The other thing was that we found the cottage very cold on arrival. It took a few hours to get it warm enough to take the coats off. Especially cold was the downstairs bedroom, there is only one small radiator under the window sill which struggles to warm the spacious room up. * There is a wood burner available in the lounge if you are comfortable with the warming-the-chimney-up process. We have no experience in doing it and didn't want to end up with the house full of smoke , so didn't get to use it.

The property was beautiful and in a very quiet location, close to local amenities too. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend Christmas

Parking?

Excellent communication from owners. House was cosy and homely. Each bedroom had its own ensuite. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you could possibly want.

Nothing about the property at all

The house has 3 en suite bedrooms. We were 3 adults and 2 young children. The house is impeccably clean and had everything we needed. Alyth is a lovely village with a handy supermarket 2 mins from the house. However, the downstairs mattress was pretty soft and uncomfortable. I recommend giving this bedroom to the person you least like in your party. We would also have liked a more substantial outdoor area. There is a very small space in front of the house which is well maintained but unfortunately (and beyond the control of the owners) there are some strong kitchen smells from the ventilation system of an adjacent hotel which some people might struggle with.

Clean, comfortable, spacious with a shower for each bedroom

Small porch

Responsive and friendly host; very well equipped, characterful cottage with a wood burning stove and en suite bathrooms; quiet village location with lovely walks nearby.

Outer front door did not close properly letting in cold/ damp air (jackets did not dry!). One of the upstairs showers was tricky. But these were only minor niggles: overall a great place.
