The cottage is comfortable, warm and cosy with exceptional heating and the added bonus of the the wood burner. It is extremely well equipped and is furnished to a high standard.
Although it is attached to the owner’s house, it feels very separate and the lovely owners are there if you need them, otherwise you don’t see them unless they are filling the feeders for the birds and the red squirrels, which you can watch just outside the sitting room window.
The large garden is bordered by beautiful trees, which looked stunning in their autumn colours.
Thanks to Jane and Colin for a wonderful relaxing stay in a location ideally suited for exploring the magnificent scenery and castles of Perthshire and Angus, and also the mountain scenery of the Cairngorms.
Having stayed in well over 50 cottages all over the UK, this is certainly one of the best (if not, the best) we have encountered and we will definitely return.

An idyllic holiday let in a very beautiful and peaceful spot. The owners, Jane and Colin, were on hand next door if we needed anything, but not at all intrusive - a lovely couple who clearly aim to provide high quality holiday accommodation.
My husband and I used the master bedroom upstairs, where the bed was big and super comfortable, and the spacious shower and corner bath were fabulous!
Another couple used the downstairs bedroom and wet room, and had no complaints at all.
The kitchen was well equipped for doing our own cooking, with milk and home made scones provided on arrival. A selection of books, DVDs and games were also provided. The dining table and lounge seating area were plenty big enough for 4 adults, and there was ample parking for 2 cars. The washer/dryer was very useful.
The gardens were lovely and well maintained, and frequently visited by red squirrels and birds. There were quiet countryside walks from the doorstep, and a field of sheep alongside the cottage.
We stayed for 2 weeks and there were loads of places to visit within a short drive (of 1 hour or less). For example: Stonehaven harbour town with coastal walk to Dunnotar Castle; Falls of Bruar (2.5 mile circular walk by 8 waterfalls, behind the House of Bruar shopping outlet); Branklyn Gardens; Glamis Castle; the House of Dun; Dundee (e.g. the Discovery ship and V&A museum); Braemar in the Cairngorns (and the Queen Victoria Drive - a 2.5 mile walk); St Andrew's town, castle & botanic garden; Blair Castle; Pitlochry; Perth (e.g. Stanley Mills and Perth Museum); Forfar town & loch. National Trust and English Heritage members can get free entry to the Scottish equivalents.
There are several local places that are good to eat at: the Wee Bear cafe; Peel Farm cafe & crafts; Flour cafe & crafts at Miegle; Glen Isla hotel; Alyth hotel; and the Lands of Loyal hotel for a very special meal in wonderful traditional surroundings.
Overall a really lovely holiday! If we return to that part of Scotland in future, we will definitely look to stay at Culdee Cottage again. Big thanks to Jane & Colin for providing such a wonderful place.

Stayed for a week during August here. We were impressed by the size and cleanliness of the cottage and it was very well equipped. I liked how it was disabled friendly (even though I didn’t need that). Comfy bed, lovely scenery and very peaceful. Jane explained things to us as we got there and the unsure irons to use things were very helpful. We enjoyed doing the walks round the cottage, playing the lawn chess and watching the red squirrels around the grounds. I would happily return if we were to go to Scotland again.

Culdee Cottage was comfortable, very clean and well equipped - a home from home. The garden is beautiful and the regular morning visits from the red squirrels and birds was a wonderful start to each day. It is excellently placed for walks around the surrounding area or longer trips out to Braemar, the coast or the Cairngorms. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Culdee cottage is a wonderful cottage set in lovely gardens in a peaceful location surrounded by countryside. Colin & Jane are welcoming & helpful hosts. The cottage is immaculate, spacious & has everything you would need for any length of stay. Lots to do in the area but we love just relaxing around the cottage itself.

Our first but definitely not our last visit to Culdee. Perfect cottage in idyllic location run by attentive but not intrusive hosts,. Lovely personal touches add to the enjoyment of the stay. Surroundings are very picturesque, ideal for walking locally and there are further attractions a short drive away. If you’re looking for a complete switch off and peace and quiet, this is the place!

We enjoyed a very relaxing break at Culdee Cottage, the weather was great for sitting in the beautiful gardens and there are so many different seating areas to choose from. The highlight of the day was watching the red squirrels come to the feeders in the garden right outside our window. There were other visitors too, a hare a pheasant and many different types of birds. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable the ground floor bedroom and wet room were ideal for my husband who has limited mobility.
Jane and Colin were perfect hosts, there if we needed them but not intrusive. A welcome tray of home made scones and jam were a lovely touch along with a vase of fresh flowers from the garden. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a restful base in beautiful surroundings.

If you are looking for a quiet rural stay this is it. Beautiful cottage with everything you could ever need. comfortable seating and beds. Lovely bathroom with a downstairs disable friendly shower room. All toiletries and towels provided. instant hot water all the time. Quality furnishings and very, very clean. Easy to use appliances. The garden is wonderful especially for red squirrel and bird watching.
Friendly owners who leave you to it but are available if needed.

Lovely welcome pack of fresh scones, butter and jam and a pint of milk.

Lots of leaflets in a drawer for things to do and see. loads of games and jigsaws if weather fails you.

5 miles to Alyth wee museum,coop and cafe. 10 miles to Blairgowrie Tesco. We went to House of Duns in Montrose which was beautiful and Pitlochry which has a great visitor centre on hydro electric dams and salmon ladders.

I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage if you don't mind driving and love peace and quiet.

Culdee cottage, tranquil, set in beautiful gardens was ideal. The location was excellent for local walks and touring and visiting many different places, travelling through beautiful scenery.
Kitchen was well equipped, plenty of wood for the wood burner and wonderfully comfortable beds. Our friendly hosts made sure our home for the week was spotless and welcoming.

The best place we have stayed in so far. Jane & Colin made us soo welcome, the little extras, of fresh s ones butter and milk, we’re just right after our journey. Everything was slick and span. The added accessibility was a real help, for me. Watching the red squirrels have their breakfast while we had ours, was an extra joy. The main en-suite bedroom upstairs is beautiful, with big windows to take on the wonderful views, and skylights to see the stars from your bed. Very luxuriously appointed.
There is plenty of everything, cutlery, crockery, cooking implements and equipment. A beautiful garden, leading down to the river, with plenty of walks, for those so abled. Didn’t want to go home, a week wasn’t enough.

Warm, comfortable and cosy cottage sharing the owner's expansive garden, where the local wildlife entertains. See the acrobatic red squirrel, sedate pheasants and bounding hare. Exceptionally comfortable bed ensures a good night's sleep. Ideal for walkers, nature lovers and anyone seeking to relax in peaceful surroundings.

The cottage itself was not in danger of flooding but some of the roads were on the way to it and this made the journey a bit exciting and there are spots without mobile data or sat nav. Take a good map with all the alternatives marked. Our friends arrived 5 minutes before us and Jane greeted us all. Colin had the wood burner on and all radiators were turned up to the max. It was my birthday and Jane had baked me a cake and scones for our arrival. Our friends took the upstairs bedroom with amazing ensuite with corner bath and corner shower. They were only staying 2 nights. We stayed 5 nights and took the downstairs bedroom with the wet room a short few steps along the hall. My husband is semi disabled and these facilities were great for him
The theme of the holiday is squirrels with lovely cuddly ones on the bed and red ones playing outside in the amazing garden. A wet November stay doesn't do the garden justice but it will be amazing in better weather. The kitchen facilities are fine to prepare easy meals in but other than fridge and freezer there is not a lot of food/drink storage for 4.
The sofa and 2 chairs around the wood burner are comfy and we were all so warm we had to turn radiators down.
There is a dining room table and chairs for 4.
We hope to return in the future in better weather

Brilliant. The only thing I found annoying was the noise the boiler made when it came on early in the morning, precluding the chance of a lie in.
A personal matter of taste, although not in any way derogatory to the property, was that I would have liked more privacy - windows overlooking sahred garden were large, and there were no blinds to enable privacy without the curtains being shut.
Excellent hosts.

Despite the mixed weather, we had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Culdee Cottage. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and the cottage was so spacious and well furnished. We were happy just to sit looking at the lovely garden and watching the red squirrels and large variety of birds entertaining us

One of best holiday cottages we have had the privilege in staying in. The owners were charming and so interesting to talk with. Breakfast watching red squirrels was a highlight. The cottage & gardens are so beautiful, we would have been happy just to stay there all day. It's not just quiet, it's silent & it this day & age, that is priceless.
We will be back for sure to do some more exploration of the glens.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Culdee Cottage. First, what you see when you arrive, is an amazing and beautiful garden. In the morning while drinking tea a hare hopped over the garden. A red squirrel is every day visitor and lots of different birds. It`s very quiet and tranquil.
Cottage has everything provided. Clean and comfortable. We didn`t use the fire place, the weather was really good! Internet is good. No mobile reception. We were ok with that.
Hosts very friendly and very helpful. We were welcome to sit in their part of the garden with a cute little pond.

Culdee Cottage is the perfect getaway and is a home from home!
It is in a lovely setting surrounded by a glorious landscape. We certainly enjoyed all the wildlife, from being woken up by the sheep in the morning to seeing red squirrels in the garden!

It honestly had everything we could've wanted and we were sad to leave. We can't wait to stay again!

Jane and Colin provide a warm welcome on arrival at Culdee cottage. The cottage is a comfortable home where everything you need has already been thought of and is available for you when required. It's idyllic setting is scenic and worthy of exploration.
It's the perfect place to slow life down and focus on being present with your family and friends and with your surroundings.

We've been to Culdee Cottage several times now and every visit has been a delight. Jane and Colin are superb hosts, welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, but at the same time leaving you to do your own thing. The accommodation truly is luxurious, both the cottage and beautiful, wildlife-filled, gardens, and makes for a very peaceful and refreshing haven, perfect for good weather and bad. There are excellent facilities for guests with mobility problems and for outdoor sorts, the local area furnishes many walks of differing lengths and challenge.

This house had everything we needed and more, so well appointed, down to flowers on the table & homemade scones awaiting our arrival. Comfy beds & log fire just left us feeling totally relaxed. Great quiet location to recharge your batteries, near enough to visit surrounding craft centres, tea rooms & do a bit of site seeing. Love watching the red squirrels.

Use thoroughly enjoyed the break despite an unexpected power outage caused by storms. The power went off late second evening for about 2 days. Lack of cooking was only one we felt as the generator came in to its own providing light and heat. This was supplemented by the log fire. Jane and Colin also handed in flasks of hot water. Had a buffet on night 3 but all other meals were as we wanted. We also enjoyed the wildlife., the regular squirrel visits being the highlight. Pheasants were also to the fore.
We can thoroughly recommend this cottage. Thanks for helping to making our holiday so memorable.

The cottage was super clean and cosy with everything we needed including really comfortable beds and a great shower. The garden is wonderful and we particularly enjoyed seeing the red squirrels and playing garden chess. The location is peaceful, with lots of walks, but plenty to do within easy distance. We hope to return next year

Culdee Cottage proved to be an excellent choice from every aspect. The cottage is very well equipped, is extremely well cared for, very comfortable, and in an amazing setting with a large, very attractive and varied garden. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, and had obviously thought carefully about the details in equipping the cottage to make the visitors’ stay as comfortable as possible. The large number and variety of birds calling at the bird feeders, combined with regular visits from red squirrels, made for a very enjoyable and relaxing natural theatre while we sat on one of the benches having a cup of tea. The surrounding area is very attractive and varied, and Culdee proved to be an excellent base for exploration either by car or on foot.

Had a wonderful week at Culdee Cottage. Spotlessly clean, everything you need; comfortable beds, fluffy towels, lovely garden and red squirrels feeding outside of your window-what more could you want? Jane and Colin were perfect hosts, arriving to homemade scones and jam was a lovely surprise and also giving us homegrown veg was really kind. The cottage is in beautiful countryside and walking is plentiful straight from the door.

We were lucky enough to spend a weekend in this beautiful cottage surrounded by the gorgeous Scottish countryside. The cottage is large and spacious and everything you could need has been thought of. The gardens are beautiful and so peaceful, constantly visited by an array of birds and red squirrels. My daughters enjoyed a few games of the garden chess too. The countryside is literally on your doorstep so if walks etc is what you’re after it is perfect.

Cottage well equipped and comfortable. Very spacious en-suite bathroom and large bedroom, with views across the countryside. Peaceful quiet location, with lovely garden at the rear shared with the main property. We saw red squirrels every day, and many birds feeding at the bird table. Local restaurants not close at hand, but within 20-30 minute drive. Jane and Colin were very welcoming hosts and very knowledgeable and helpful with information about the local area

The cottage was spotless, and nice and warm during a cold week. We could not think of anything that was lacking in the kitchen, there was even a tea cosy. We did find the dining table rather difficult to sit around due to it's design which was quite unusual. The beds were very comfortable ensuring a good nights sleep.
In the mornings we had the pleasure of watching the Red Squirrels amazing performance through the tree tops, and a great variety of birds dashing on and off the feeders
Plenty of walking available from the cottage, some of it along the lanes, but there is very little traffic to bother about
Local shopping at Alyth, in the Co-Op, and a good choice of shops in Blairgowrie. 20 minutes away.
Jane and Colin are very welcoming, and on hand to offer any help and advice if needed..

This was our second stay at Culdee Cottage in 6 weeks as we were not sure whether either would be permitted owing to lockdown regulations. However we have been able to take both breaks and have had a wonderful stay each time. The house is immaculately clean and we felt very safe as all coronavirus precautions are obviously being taken. The cottage is very well equipped and is in a lovely area - we were very lucky with the weather on both holidays and were able to explore both Perthshire and Angus. We intend to return again next year! Thank you Jane and Colin for your hospitality plus the scones, green beans from the garden and even a grouse!

A very nice cottage with large rooms and comfortable bed.
In my opinion 2 this is could be improved on
1 the seating in the lounge area was very uncomfortable for myself who suffers with neck problems I was not able to relax and support the neck area.
2 there was not an empty cupboard in the kitchen area for our groceries and we had to leave it all on the counter top which was not ideal.

Thank you for your review of your holiday in Culdee Cottage. I am sorry you did not find the seating comfortable. Had you mentioned it, we could have supplied you with extra cushions and a special neck support. The end cupboard of the dresser is empty for guests' groceries. Alternatively any crockery you do not use can be moved into the end cupboard thus relieving space closer to the kitchen area.

Relaxing, quiet and pleasant location.

A privilege to share the owners garden and surroundings, nice to know someone is discretely nearby.
Good spot for touring or walking from.
Delightful accommodation, only thing I couldn't master were the television controls, although the instructions are there .Furnishings and equipment are adequate and attractive.
So enjoyed having coffee with the owners.

Culdee Cottage is a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. It is very well equipped and immaculately clean. Jane and Colin are consummate hosts, there when you need them yet give you your privacy when you want time alone. Kilry is close to outstanding countryside and everywhere in Angus, Perthshire and Fife is easily accessible. We are looking forward to our second visit next month!

Excellent private location in the beautiful Scottish countryside. This property provides all the comforts of home with a very
comfortable king size bed with a luxury well fitted on suite bathroom. Our hosts were so helpful and friendly without being intrusive and work very hard to keep their scenic property in perfect condition. A very warm welcome to travelers can be expected.

We have stayed in many self catering cottages and Culdee Cottage has been by far the best.The owners Jane and Colin were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding scenery is very beautiful and there are many local walks and a large loch and a waterfall are nearby.

The Culdee Cottage is a lovely surprise. After a very warm welcome of Jane we entered a gem of a cottage, spacious, luxury, warm centrally heated, clean and all you might need available. The wood stove with plenty of wood makes the evenings nice and cosy. The cottage is surrounded by a beautiful large garden with lots of diffent birds.
In the surroundings there are plenty of walks, golfcoarses and really lovely restaurants. The Culdee Cottage is an address we will certainly come back to.
Our sincere complements to Jane and Collin who made our stay marvellous.

It was lovely to have a warm welcoming fire lit for us when we arrived on a cold and wet spring afternoon, thd scones and cream were a nice touch too. A well kitted out cottage, in a peaceful setting, with walks straight from the door.

We had a lovely weekend celebrating my Wife's 30th birthday. Jane and Colin were great hosts, even made a cake! The property was spotless on arrival. Big, comfortable bed. Stunning en-suite upstairs too. Lovely log burner in the living area. But the best thing for us, was just how accessible the walks are. Standing in the garden with nothing but the flowing river and birds for noise was just 10/10. Would recommend and we'll definitely be back!

My wife and I had the most relaxing time enjoying the atmosphere of the cottage with every amenity one can think of. Jane and Colin are great hosts but do not interfere except to provide any information one needs about the area as well as restaurants. A perfect hub for golf. Played at St Andrews and Gleneagles as well as being close to Carnoustie and Blairgowrie and a host of excellent courses nearby. Perfect for walkers or just pleasant country drives. Highly recommended.

There is absolutely everything you need , and more. JANE & Colin are really pleasant, they couldn’t do any more. Will be booking again.

We stayed for a week in Culdee Cottage September 2017. The cottage was very clean and really well equipped with everything you would want on a holiday. The garden was beautiful with seats dotted about.
The seating in the lounge wasn't very good for me, but I am a large person with a chronic back problem. The chairs are the Stress less type, my wife was ok with them.
The cottage is quite remote but in beautiful countryside.
Overall a great place to stay.

This cottage is of the highest standard everything provided that you could possibly need set in a beautiful garden with local walks from the house and access to a wide area of interest. The owners are so friendly and helpful. It has WiFi but no mobile phone cover. The area is quiet and restful yet there are opportunities for active pursuits in the area

At Culdee Cottage we had a marvelous time. The Cottage is superb. It is well equipped, offers a lot of space and the sourroundings are simply beautiful. Jane is the perfect host. She welcomes you with milk, jam and butter in the fridge and her handmade scones and gives you all the information you need.

A warm welcome made for a great start to our peaceful break. Everything you could want is provided including comprehensive info for the surrounding area. The garden is huge and set out for you to sit anywhere you fancy - plenty of wildlife watching to be done. Slept really well in the absolute quiet - and the huge super comfortable bed! Lots of lovely touches everywhere.
The only minor gripe we had was the seating in the living room. In agreement with another comment regarding this but respect the owners response re the flow. A sofa would have been our preference as we found it hard to get comfy in the chairs.
Certainly won't stop us from returning though!

Our comment about so many self catering properties we have rented would be 'if only the owners had stayed here they would realise what is lacking.' Not so with Culdee cottage the owners have stayed there and consequently every reqiurement has been catered for.

We were after peace - and Culdee delivered. Lovely welcome. Cosy cottage with every piece of equipment you could want. Very nice couple and great location - fantastic Glens resplendent in the autumn colours. Only slight issue was the softish beds not quite suiting us. This is a very personal thing and a cottage cannot cater for every taste on this front. In all - excellent place for a weekend or a week break.

This is a beautiful cottage in a stunning, quiet location. It was clean and the owner was present on arrival. She was extremely helpful and on hand with useful advice if needed. There are gorgeous walks either straight from the door or a short drive away. I loved watching the red squirrels play in the garden. The pictures of the cottage don't do it justice, it is much bigger than I expected. My only gripe was the lack of a settee and the bed wasn't overly comfortable (but I am fussy with beds as I have a bad back). I would definitely return and recommend to friends.

Lived there for many years when it was a tied cottage for farm. Culdee is possibly the nicest self catering holiday home I have used (within the price range) and environs are superb.
So, so, so many good memories and seeing red squirrels at the feeders was a joy. Lots of good walks and close by towns to visit. Wonderful.

A lovely warm welcome from Jane & Colin to thier gorgeous cottage. It had every thing we needed for our stay, was spotlessly clean and even had comfy beds......not often found when away. The gardens were just beautiful and were all ours to explore. At night you could hear the sound of the river running by.....a lovely way to drift off to sleep. My Dad is disabled (walks aided with a wheeled frame and requires help with bathing etc.) The cottage is well equipped for people with disabilities, even greater than my Fathers. The wet room is a great asset. We visited, Scone Palace, Glamis Castle, Dalwhinnie Distillery, Pitlochry. There are some lovely walks right on the doorstep of the cottage too. We would love to stay again if we visit the area and thoroughly recommend you stay here too.

Cottage was in a very good location, quiet and peaceful with lots of wildlife in and around the beautiful garden grounds.
Owners whose property adjoins the cottage were more than helpful and very welcoming, providing home-made scones etc for our arrival.
Cottage was very well appointed, although another 'adult' chair in the sitting area would make it just perfect.
Would not hesitate to recommend to others and would certainly return if looking for accommodation in same area again.

Lovely roomy cottage complete with a wood burning stove. We enjoyed watching the red squirrels playing and feeding in the garden. This is a very scenic part of Scotland with some lovely glens to walk along and the Cateran trail passes close by.

Culdee Cottage is a fantastic place. We only stayed for one night but instantly felt at home after a warm welcome from Jane. We couldn't have picked a better place for our overnight stay. There is so much to do in the local area that we're looking forward to a lengthier stay in the future. If you happen to be reading this and wondering if you should go ahead and book I'd say do it now! The facilities really are first class. Great value for money, very comfy and cosy. Perfect!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay in Culdee Cottage. We were given good instructions on how to arrive at the cottage and there were signboards directing us there. It was immaculate when we arrived and had everything we needed for our stay. Would love to return for a longer trip next time!

One of the best short stays we've ever had (and indeed it's wonderful that such spacious, high-quality self-catering accommodation is available for short breaks). The accommodation was superb - attractive, very well equipped and warm - and the hosts really were exceptionally welcoming and kind. We were fortunate enough to stay during a spell of beautiful weather in autumn, when the colours of the garden and surrounding landscape were spectacular, so being outdoors locally was especially lovely, but we'd have enjoyed ourselves even if we'd been confined to the house by bad weather, so comfortable was the accommodation.

Although the area doesn't have the immediately spectacular scenery that might be experienced in other parts of the Highlands, it's still very beautiful, with a juxtaposition of well tended farmland, heather moorland and the first foothills of the Grampians. Glen Isla, the Reekie Linn waterfall and the Backwater Reservoir are all within walking distance, making Cludee Cottage ideal for outdoor-orientated non-drivers like ourselves.

had a lovely short break with super hosts. Nothing was a problem. felt a settee in lounge would be more comfortable.
Great log fire and plenty of wood. Enjoyed it.

This cottage is absolute perfection. Everything about this cottage is outstanding, from its secluded location to the rare red squirrels. Total perfection.

A great location, a super cottage, with lovely hosts and plenty of opportunity to observe the local wildlife. We used the cottage as a base for the weekend it would have been nice to spend more time there.

We stayed three nights in Culdee cottage and it wasn't long enough; Jane and Colin were very helpful and friendly. The cottage was brilliant, very clean and to a high spec. Great location, can't wait to stay again!

We recently visited as a party of 3 to Culdee Cottage. The location is lovely and the cottage is extremely well appointed and good value for money, although we only had time for an overnight stop. I cannot say enough good things about the helpfulness of the hosts. The cottage is a little difficult to find but our late arrival as night fell did not help but I would definitely use SatNav or plan from the map very carefully. There is everything provided with lovely beds, clean bathrooms and towels. Views are super. I personally think a nice comfy sofa in the lounge would be a really good addition. It would provide an area for a family to sit and would separate the lounge and dining/kitchen areas. Just my opinion.

Beautiful apartment remotely located for day trips to Balmoral and Glamis Castles. Vehicle must have GPS if you want to navigate this area successfully.
