  I am grateful to Woodside House for providing such an amazing house (set in extensive private grounds) for me to use for a significant family celebration.

  Prior to arriving I received messages, welcoming me and my family and a lovely bottle of wine was provided. Thank you. It was made clear that someone would be available at all times should I need this but there was no intrusion. Ten adults (ranging from 21 to 88 years) and two well behaved dogs were accommodated very well. The house was very comfortable and warm and the size of the rooms allowed us all to relax easily and move about (even with a zimmer frame). The house has its quirks. Not all the lights work, window shutters might not close due to radiators, there may not be enough wine glasses for everyone (but a trip to the supermarket sorted that one) and crockery is located in different places in the kitchen, dining room and hallway. It all added to the experience though. The main living space is a lovely bright room and the dining kitchen has a welcoming open fire (matches, firelighters & logs, etc are not provided). The lighting in the kitchen could, however, be better especially when cooking in the evening. The entrance hallway is gigantic. It was really helpful to have a downstairs toilet (that also has a very impressive state of the art shower). The house has a striking stairway leading up to a lovely hallway off which are all the bedrooms. The bedrooms are bright and comfortable as are the two bath/shower rooms upstairs each with a wc. The private grounds are great. I wanted a venue that could accommodate my family for a happy occasion and Woodside House enabled this. Happy memories were made in this house and for this I am extremely grateful. Thank you.

  The house is set in lovely grounds well away from the main road.

  There was nine of us staying over for four days all guys and on the website it said three doubles and two singles. I got in touch with the owner and asked if anything could be done to have more singles. They came back and had managed to make nine singles up, great flexibility, thanks for that. The house is rustic, comfortable, lovely and very spacious, a lot of the time we spent chatting around the large dinning room table. Beds are very comfortable and the showers are to die for. On day three a Saturday, we were all just leaving when I saw steam coming out of the downstairs shower room. A hot water pipe had burst and the shower and toilet were flooded as was the carpet into the main hall. Found the stop cock switched the mains water off and phoned the owner. He said leave a key and go enjoy yourselves, a plumber will be there within two hours. I got a text two and a half hours later saying the leak had been fixed and the house was being cleaned. We came back in the evening and you would never have known there had been a flood, brilliant response time, totally on the ball. You couldn’t ask for more. Great stay, would recommend the house to anyone and we will be back in the future.

  This property was absolutely stunning!

  It was perfect! Far enough outside the local town that you could switch off from everything and unwind, but close enough to the shops, fuel etc and activities to have adventures if you choose! Host was lovely, greeted us shortly after arrival and suggested some places to visit during our stay, we went to the beach and waterfall which were both beautiful, and the Wee Bear Cafe which was suggested was delicious! I would highly recommend this to all! For wildlife lovers we saw red kites from the property and a short drive from the lodge we saw osprey and red squirrels and some deer also! Endinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen were 1-1.5 hours away and definitely worth the visit! Being on the edge of the cairngorms there is definitely a large array of places or activities which makes this a perfect destination for anyone to stay! I would also like to mention that the locals were also super helpful, on the last day of our stay I had issues with one of my tyres deflating, after visiting a garage that was fully booked they pointed me in a direction of another garage which sorted my car in under 30 minutes of turning up! Couldn't recommend this property enough!

  We were extremely disappointed in our cottage on arrival.

  The advertisement said that it sleeps 6. Which it has enough beds for 6 and 2 bathrooms, however the sitting area and table does not accommodate a family of 6. The dining area chairs are right in front of the doors to a bedroom and makes it too hard to move, the sitting area barely seats 4, and makes it tight to walk. The cottage had cob webs, the show screen had mold and the outside table was moldy. The cottage was overpriced. At the price advertised, we expected a clean and suitably sized cottage, this was not the case at all. There wasn't even paper towel and we needed to request an extra dish cloth and tea towel. The freezer made a beeping noise if you used it, and one of the stove burners didn't work. The cottage is located on a kennel / working farm and while we were there our room backed onto the area where they were working, you could here dogs barking, people working and machinery from all times during the early morning and day. The pool was nice, however we were not provided with any extra towels. I would not recommend this cottage to anyone.

  The house, is magnificent!

  There isn't much more I can say. From the moment you drive up the driveway and see the house, to second you open in the front door and take in your first steps you know you are somewhere special. You have a feeling of living like 'royalty' for your stay. The house has original features, which in my opinion make the house even more special, and you truly appreciate the history to the house. The owners also allowed me to take my small dog, which was great to be able to enjoy it as it a full family. We enjoyed a lot of time in the dining area around the real fire, toasting marshmallows and spending quality time together as a family. The hallway is exceptional, and the living room area is also a beautiful location to enjoy the sun and garden areas, admiring the wildlife. I cannot fault the location, a quiet secluded spot, with easy access to surrounding areas, and local amenities - what more could you want? I truly hope I get to stay here again, what a memorable and magnificent experience!!!
