We had a lovely week at Cotlea East Cottage. Friendly and welcoming hosts, nice welcome gifts. The cottage was so clean and very comfy. Was such a nice place to relax after our trips out. Managed to sit out in the garden too, with lovely views. The shower is amazing!

A very comfortable and well equiped cottage.

A very comfortable and well equiped cottage. Lovely having a wood log burner. A dog walking area, plus many walks in the area. Close to the town and local shops and other facilites. Halfway between Dundee and Perth, both worth a visit. A very relaxing holiday destination.

We have booked six cottages through the booking site over the last three years; all good, but Cotlea East Cottage has been the best. We hope to return and best wishes to the owners with all their ventures.

And chill

We had a great stay with our dog, Dougal. The cottage was very comfortable had everything you need, garden was lovely and great for sitting out. The big field attached was great for quick walks with Dougal. The off road walks from the cottage were relaxing and everyone we met was very friendly. Alison met us on arrival and explained how everything worked. We would definitely book here again. Thank you Alison for a lovely stay.
