    Shower was terrible, went from freezing to hot to freezing within 5 seconds and was barely usable.

    Poor shower. Sharp edges on the shutters on inside of the windows. I tore skin on my forearm on one in the corridor. We hat we had to put the heating on when we got there so it took ages to heat the house up.

    Comfortable and roomy accommodation. We loved the log burner. Very well equipped kitchen.

    A few areas in the cottage need a bit of TLC- paint work etc. Toilet seat needs fixing. Double bedroom also has limited access at the bottom of the bed which may be an issue for those with mobility issues. But overall a lovely place to stay and we would definitely recommend it to others.

    Lovely cosy, well equipped cottage in great location. Brilliant to be so close to access for the beach and the coast path to Arbroath. Easy to access lovely Lunan Bay too.

    Dog friendly and even had little dog bowls and other cute doggy touches. The cottage was equipped with everything you could need and more. Decorated simply but beautifully and very warm and cosy. The wood burner was a gorgeous touch which we loved having on at night with the feet up and a film on. Location was amazing. Situated in such a quaint little village with quick access to a stunning pebbled beach. Also super close to larger towns like Arbroath and short drive to Lunan Bay and other great locations.

    Lack of seaview from cottage, but that was just an expectation from the name of cottage, that we misunderstood.

    we found the couch very uncomfortable and it is showing signs of use it’s a pity because it’s the centre of the living area which is otherwise lovely, a new couch would be a great asset.

    very clean and well equipped, although it’s not got a direct view over the cliff it’s proximity to the cliff path and numerous walks makes it ideal for walkers and dogs, our rough collie loved it .

    Shame there was nowhere to dry off clothes etc outside & there no view of sea from property despite location. We came with kayak & best day looked like it was going to be our arrival date ….was disappointed you had to pay £12 extra to be able to enter an hour early to offload our bags

    Good location & amazing views a short walk from property

    The wood for the fire not dry enough and lack of kindling. half the sofa was broken the foot rest L shape and a coffee table or two would have been nice but a good dinning table was there

    location very special and peaceful. located a short distance from the most beautiful bay and views. the famous sunrise virtually outside of our door. Very tastefully decorated cottage. and most comfortable beds. cosy and clean also modern

    Nice place, a few tweaks needed

    The cottage was very cold. It was missing the promised kindling so we were unable to light the wood stove and the panel heaters took some time to warm the place up. The many cold hard surfaces didn't help and some throws and a rug in the living area would have projected a warmer atmosphere. The microwave wasn't functioning and despite the kitchen being part of the living room there was no extractor over the hob.

    The location was good for access to beautiful Angus beaches and glens. The cottage was clean with thick clean towels, clean bed linen and warm duvets.

    The couch wasn't comfortable, maybe a little change required there. No fire lighters and cut logs were too big for the fire. These are minor things to suggest some improvements. We still loved our stay and captured some brilliant photos.

    Loved the location and self check in. The cottage was clean and modern style.

    No issues at all.

    Lovely cosy cottage. All the facilities we needed. Comfy beds, nice shower. Stove and some logs made evenings in front of the fire lovely. Location is only a few miles from Arbroath, and situated on a costal walking path. Lunan beach is stunning and just a few miles to the north, highly recommend checking it out.

    Toilet seat is wonky. We found the sofa pretty uncomfortable although it looks nice (the armchair is comfortable). Kitchen could do with a wooden spoon.

    Lovely location, a short walk to the beach and to the local restaurant. Modern cottage with large kitchen and well equipped. Nicely decorated. Cleaning products provided. We didn't need to light the fire, but we put the heating on briefly and it was very effective. Binoculars were a nice touch. The shower is great.
