  • "Just a heads up, THIS PROPERTY IS NOW UP FOR SALE!"

    a for sale sign went up while we where at the property in november so should you book this property for 2025 just be aware that your holiday may well be cancelled. apart from that it was a great week.

  • "We had a lovely relaxing time at Brae of Airlie Farm."

    Bill, the caretaker was very friendly and the information provided by the owner before our stay was fantastic. Positives: Lovely location and views. Beautiful gardens with so much space. The house is lovely, spacious and with loads of interesting and quirky pictures and an amazing selection of books. The ping pong table and dart board are a bonus and we and our teenagers enjoyed many games. The tap water tastes delicious. Not so positive: The WiFi is awful. Not a major problem but it would have been useful to have been told that beforehand. The house needs a bit of love - the flooring, in the main room particularly, is in need of updating and a comfortable sofa would have been wonderful. The sliding doors overlooking the patio don’t feel very secure. The drawers in living room have woodworm so it was impossible to get the games out of them. There is a baby swing in the garden which is a lovely idea but the seat is cracked and actually a health and safety hazard. There are various consoles, dvd players and televisions but very few link together and work. We had to attach the dvd player to the tv in the bedroom because the wires were incompatible with the tv downstairs. The house was very warm, which would be a huge bonus in winter but it would be really useful to provide instructions for the heating, just in case it is 22 degrees outside. (Thankfully Bill came to the rescue) Instructions for the oven would also be helpful. The non-stick pans were in poor condition and obviously the damaged coating is very unhealthy. The games room was a bonus but again needs a little attention. There were only two (proper) ping pong balls (the others didn’t bounce) and only one usable dart. There were lots of random items in the games room that feel like they’ve been abandoned and a pile of DVDs which, despite being an interesting selection, were almost impossible to play, even after we found a compatible tv and wires for the dvd player, because they were so scratched. There is a cattle grid at the entrance to the property which has sunk. Some vehicles would struggle to cope with that. We really enjoyed our stay but it could have been closer to perfect.

  • "There is history and personality in this house, the artwork and all the lovely books."

    My teenager who is usually attached to her mobile.put together a pile of books, on top was a biography of Zelda Fitzgerald. I was then questioned mastermind style, not even a chance to google, didn't go well.. So she retired to her lovely room "to watch the wildlife in her chair by the window", with her pile of books. There is plenty of wildlife so we didn't see much of her! If you want a boutique style holiday home, with fluffy cushions and expensive linen, with takeaways on tap this is not the place for you. If you don't like bracing weather and getting wet, muddy feet and feeling slightly damp when out and about, definitely not the place for you. This is a cosy home (get that heating on!), with amazing views, in a lovely area, plenty to do it you are inclined. We seemed hypnotized by the views. It's so peaceful, I loved seeing my woofers looping round the house with big smiley faces. And last but certainly not least, the lovely people, particularly Bill the caretaker. who is fantastic, and helped us with a family issue we had, he couldn't have been kinder. Thank you Bill.

    the games room was a great asset for when it rained (its scotland and it does rain a lot). the garden was great for archery as well as rifle shooting as a metal target box was provided. the mattress in the main bedroom is solid and i mean solid so its like sleeping on a brick but after a few nights you get used to it, the fridge and and a few cups had not been cleaned so we had to do a little washing but these are minor faults considering the price paid and also the fact that our wee pooch had a ball in such a huge garden. the caretaker bill who lives oposite the cottage is a great help and a very friendly guy, i for one enjoyed talking to him. a fish slice and a small baking tray would be handy in the kitchen, you have no chance of getting eggs out of the frying pan without a fish slice and a small baking tray for small items going into the oven. all in all this is a good property at a cheap price but should the price rise then other holiday cottages would be a better option as it is dated and a liitle uncomfortable in the bedrooms.

    In communication with the owner he referred to his property as " Magical " and he is correct. So what if the furniture and beds are not as comfortable as you would like them to be. If you look past all this and the negative feedback you will no doubt read with regards this property you will find that this holiday property is indeed antiquated a place stuck in time. All the books and pictures and everything else has a strange intimacy about it. The large gardens are perfect. Surrounded by apple trees. Children and dogs will absoutely love this cottage. And so will you because you will not worry about things getting damaged. We are already planning on re booking this holiday property and hope to visit it every year into the foreseeable future. Trust me and take a leap of Faith and book this property. You won't regret it.

    However serious improvements need to be made to the beds and lounge - every bed is extremely uncomfortable; creaky old mattresses, you could feel every spring, plus the bedding is very old, with old stains. You expect to be able to get a good night's sleep when renting somewhere. Unfortunately the lounge doesn't fare much better with the majority of seating having seen better days (again lumpy and uncomfortable). If you are renting as a large family group, the kitchen areas are great, spacious and with plenty of crockery and utensils.

    It was very well equipped and everything we needed was provided. The cottage itself is looked after by one of the owner’s neighbours who is very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, having found the cottage very homely and comfortable with a games room that kept the children occupied when they weren’t out exploring the large, well kept garden and local area. In the evening as things settled down, we all enjoyed sitting in the living room looking out across the fields through the large double patio doors to see who could see the deer first or count the most rabbits. We are very grateful to the owners for allowing us to stay in their lovely cottage.

  • "Very happy with our stay here and would fully recommend."

    Huge house and private garden. As others have said could be doing with some upgrading but then you would expect to pay much more - we were extremely happy with the property and the dog loved the huge and interesting garden which was maintained to a very high standard for our taste (with enough left for nature to thrive) from the friendly caretaker Bill who lives in the house just over the road. Stunning views and wildlife galore - if you are prepared to look for it. We seen from the house Red Kite, numerous Buzzards, deer, hare and a stoat twice which we all viewed from the kitchen window right in the garden. From the RSPB nature reserve just along the road we seen Osprey but also Marsh Harriers - which was a first for us. Also never actually seen but obvious signs of beaver - i.e lodge which can bee seen from first hide, plus plenty of gnawed down trees. Would recommend beach at Lunan Bay which had a double entrance cave and porpoise viewable in the bay. We had an amazing holiday and would definitely return.

  • "In general, the property was as described - and warmer than expected."

    The stove in the living room is more for effect than warmth - and only take small-sized logs. The ping pong table and darts board were very much enjoyed. The space afforded by two fridges (one for food; one for drinks!) was also welcome. Despite some of the reviews, we found all of the seating in the living room comfortable, including the new sofa. A few small things would have made it even better: there were only three table tennis bats, and the flights kept falling off two of the darts. A full set of equipment would make it even better. And the DVD player did not have any cables to link it to the TV, or a remote control. Once we had borrowed a cable from the neighbour, we found that it does not connect to the large new TV in the living room: we had to move the smaller TV from the games room into the living room instead, and use the remote control from the upstairs TV. Nonetheless, we had a pleasant time. Although we did not see any of the promised wildlife, the views of the sun and mist rolling over the fields and distant hills was a nice change from city living.

    However, it was very clean and we had lovely fluffy white towels and clean bedding. All the appliances were newish and there was a freezer which is not mentioned on the listing. One of the sofas was brand new. There are hundreds of books to choose from too. The play station wouldn't work and there was no charging leads for the controllers. We also couldnt find the BBQ. The garden was huge, which our dog loved and the views all around were spectacular. We saw deer, loads of birds, rabbits and a little mouse. The caretaker was lovely and checked in on us at the beginning to make sure everything was OK. We would stay again, but probably in a larger family group as the house was huge.

There was a really foul smell coming from the back of the fridge and finally the patio outside the sitting room was covered in foot high weeds.

    It did, however have a tendency to favour style over common sense. The downstairs bedroom had an ensuite shower room with twin washhand basin - and nowhere to hang towels, except over the radiator which was only big enough to accommodate one towel. The bedroom had no storage or hanging space whatsoever. Ideally we'd have gone upstairs, but a steep open treaded staircase isn't ideal for people like me with a collection of repacement joints. (the stairs were more awkward for me than the mountains I walked up.) These are small niggles, but irritating all the same.

    The garden is a good size. Inside, the main bedroom is a good size with a very comfortable bed. However, the house is generally tired and badly in need of decorating. All the seating in the living room is way past its use by date with not one comfortable settee/chair. In fact, we considered coming home early because of this. The kitchen/dining space is very strange, being divided as it is into 2 areas with 2 sinks, each of which need to be used any time a meal is produced. We do realise all this is reflected in the price, but still feel its not unreasonable to expect comfortable easy chairs.

    We said we'd go back and it took 3 years but we returned. It was just as lovely as we had remembered it. There were two of us and two dogs so the facilities were more than adequate for us, however it's worth noting that there is only one shower so if large groups stay, sharing would be required. The house and garden is perfect and if the owners ever wanted to sell we'd upsticks in a heartbeat! The location of the house is fantastic, within a 40 minute drive of many interesting places including Arbroath, the Cairngorms, Glamis Castle and Queens View to name just a few. Also not to be missed is the 'Wee Bear Cafe', a dog friendly cafe right near the farmhouse and a lovely place to stop for a well earned coffee and piece of cake after a walk around the reservoir. We visited in Autumn this time and were able to pick apples from the many trees in the garden. We observed deer in the field beyond and geese flying overhead as well as pheasants in the garden - such a treat. The house is in need of new glazed doors as the seals appear to have blown which affected the view from the window but still perfectly adequate. The wood burning stoves are wonderful as are the many books to read of all different genres. Overall, 10/10 in our opinion. We will definitely return, hopefully with our family.

A statue of Peter Pan can be found in the town. Kirriemuir also offers an Aviation Museum, Glamis Castle and the historic Pictish Stones at Meigle, while the Angus Glens offer great hill walking and climbing. With a fine variety of shops, hotels and pubs in the town and surrounding area, there is something here to suit all tastes.
