  • "We had a lovely stay at White Hillocks cottage."

    From the minute we arrived and walked in the door we just felt at home. Everything you need for an extremely relaxing and comfortable break. The cottage has been done to a high standard and is an ideal location to explore the "Glens". The hosts were extremely welcoming, simply superb, and just really nice hard working genuine people!!!! We will be back, Drew, Lorrane, "wee Ella" & Alfie the working cockers...

  • "This property is in an exceptional location."

    We loved watching the hills as the sun was rising and falling. It is very rural which suited us perfectly. There are farm buildings on the same plot so we also saw some farm workers coming and going which added to the rural experience. The cottage itself has some very good points but also needs a little bit of updating to bring it completely up to spec. Mattresses could do with replacing or adding memory foam toppers. Sofa cushions are also on verge of needing replacing and tv could be replaced with a newer smart tv. Having said that the cottage is huge and generally well decorated. Our dog loved running around in the safe, enclosed garden. The owner Hazel is amazing. We had an issue on Sunday morning when the oven broke- the heating element had gone. I contacted Hazel and she brought us an air fryer and slow cooker to help us out- which was very much appreciated. There was a new oven installed on the Tuesday afternoon. Problems like this are always a possibility- how the owner handles it is the thing that makes the difference. This was handled superbly! The little basket of goodies on arrival was also a nice touch. We loved this cottage and it’s truly special location and would return in a heartbeat!

  • "Overall the cottage is in an amazing location."

    The views are stunning. The cottage is nice and we had a comfortable stay. Our only complaint would be that there are thick cob webs everywhere on the ceilings and top of the walls. We had 16 month old twins with us and there is plenty of space to let them run around in the living room with furniture rearranged which was great, as it meant we didn't need to use a play pen.

  • "We had an excellent time."

    The cottage is in a quiet and isolated position in a valley with great scenery, there was even a great view through the lounge window whilst sat on the couch. Everything we needed was there, cottage was spacious and warm and there was even a welcome gift. Nice location for exploring with plenty to see in the surrounding area's Internet was provided and all mobile phone networks are available, (even 3 which they say isn't available). We found our way there OK but did some research in advance. I would suggest the owners send a What3Words address with the directions to make things easier.

    Clear skies at night really do show all the stars. There is a significant amount of wildlife, especially Red Kites, Buzzards and Sparrow-hawks. The views from the property are absolutely stunning. There are some wonderful walks in this area. The owners are located close by for anything you need. The local shop is not too far away, located in Kirriemuir. I will certainly be coming back again in the near future.

  • "This cottage well exceeded our expectations from the pictures."

    It is so spacious and comfortably throughout and really is a home from home. The garden was perfect for our two young dogs with secure fencing all around the cottage, enabling us to leave the doors open at all times we were in the property. The kitchen is well furnished with everything you need for every meal. The lounge is just amazing and very comfortable with a dining table where our grandson sat and played his games and watched his tablet. This cottage is somewhere I could definitely live and the early morning and evening walks with the dogs was so peaceful with no noise whatsoever. There is hardly any traffic on the small road which adds to the peace. The garden is a lovely sun trap and I sat most mornings with my coffee on the picnic bench. A truly brilliant property which we will return to and enjoy the peace and comfort that White Hillocks Cottage offers and allows.

    We're sorry to read your feedback as we know you liked the cottage so much on your first visit you chose to come back again. We had taken the opportunity to paint the bathroom when there was a break the week previous. I should have mentioned it and you could have left the window open when you were out to help with the smell. Thankfully it's not a smell that sticks around and hope it doesn't deter you returning for a third visit. Best wishes Hazel Property Owner

    The views are spectacular and we love how quiet it is. Hazel always ensures that we have a comfortable stay and I love that she puts out many flower arrangements in the rooms. We were also left a dog bowl for use by our dog Liked the upgraded carpets in the bedrooms, these make a huge difference. Only downside is that some little bits in the kitchen could be improved. For example there were no egg cups and some of the utensils could be updated. However this would never deter us from returning.

The village is about 20 minutes away so not easily right on the doorstep, but it does give a nice sense of isolation. The people at the farmhouse had a Tesco's delivery so this is presumably an option to get groceries. There are plenty of walks and things to see, and we were fortune with the weather sitting in the sun most afternoons.

There was plenty of wood for the fire which was great. There was a welcome box which was lovely and even treats for the dogs. There were supplies of most things in the cupboard and a bottle of fresh milk too. It is such a rural location, surrounded by wildlife, cattle and game.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage, loved being where we were and were exceptionally lucky with the weather."

    Only two slight issues. No outside seating areas and no washing line available at this property. The welcome basket was very welcome and most generous. We loved our stay.

  • "Very quiet and peaceful."

    Very large property though there were only 2 of us with 2 small dogs. Bathroom was huge and the shower was very powerful - really liked this. Beautifully furnished with quality oak furniture. Bed very comfortable. Wood burner in the lounge but unfortunately the weather was warm and we did not have the opportunity to try it. Kitchen and utility room were well-appointed. Large dining room. .Scenery was fabulous and there was plenty to see in the area.

White Hillocks Farm

A pair of tastefully decorated, rural cottages set in the idyllic Glen Clova, seven miles from the burgh of Kirriemuir in Angus, Scotland. White Hillocks Farm is surrounded by wondrous hills and countryside with the Cairngorms National Park nearby, making it the perfect stay for a group of ramblers, cyclists or wildlife spotters to come and get away from it all. Both cottages are decorated in peacefully neutral colours, the comforting living areas make a delightful base for an outdoors holiday. The dining rooms and sitting rooms in the properties come with their own fires, making them highly appealing all-year-round. Bring your furry friends along with you as they can stretch their legs in your enclosed lawned garden, or the acres of countryside right on your doorstep. Reflect on the day's adventures in the immaculate bathrooms that come in each cottage. All of the bedrooms are pleasantly furnished, with White Hillocks Cottage boasting a triple room, perfect for families to stay in. White Hillocks Farm House offers a lovely king-size double bedroom on the ground floor, ideal for those with limited mobility. Despite being in a rural setting, a short drive takes you to the well-stocked town of Kirriemuir, offering a wide range of amenities and plenty to keep you busy from museums and art galleries to golf and the birthplace of J M Barrie to discover. Slightly further afield is the marvellous city of Dundee, with elite shopping, wonderful buildings and much to do. Two lovely cottages in a fabulous location.

The town is home to the birthplace of novelist JM Barrie, creator of the much-loved children's character Peter Pan and the house is now a museum looked after by the National Trust for Scotland. A statue of Peter Pan can be found in the town. Kirriemuir also offers 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.
