Fabulous holiday home!

Felt like a home away from home. Plenty of cooking wear and loved the hot tub!! Close enough to town but also so quiet and peaceful! Easy to find and loved being across the street from a park with walking paths!

Scottish Retreat

The property was exactly as shown in the photos. Semi-Secluded which we wanted, and the directions to the property were fantastic. Well equipped with very comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. The hot tub was great, and the house provided enough space for everyone to find time to themselves if needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property

We recently spent 5 nights at the house, there was 8 of us, 5 adults, 3 children and 3 generations! The house worked really well for us. There was plenty of space both inside and out. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. Eddie, the owner, was very good at communicating. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and comfortable and suited our needs well. Eddie was very helpful and responded quickly when we needed anything. The only reason we gave 4 stars for accuracy of listing was that there was not BBQ grill. Eddie said he would remove that from the listing. If you plan a longer stay, make sure to bring some extra toilet paper and paper towels. The hot tub was a bonus we really enjoyed!

Terrific House.

Great family get together in this very spacious very clean modern house. We all loved the Hot Tub, the games on the TV, out for walks and watching the red squirrels in the garden. The house is in a peaceful location but only 15 mins from Camperdown Park and Dundee Ice Arena. We had a marvellous stay and have already told friends about this holiday home. I’m sure we will be back.

Wonderfully comfortable

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was as shown in the photos. It was well equipped with everything we needed and more. Great condition. Immaculately clean. We enjoyed having the two lounges to spread out in with family. The hot tub was such an added bonus. The communications with the landlord were very easy and efficient. The woodlands park across the street was another bonus for exploring and just hiking. Highly recommend. So comfortable.

Christmas 2023 !!!

It’s a risky thing to do when you decide to book somewhere for your entire family to spend Christmas so we chose carefully and I can honestly say that we made the right choice with Eddies place… Even though the weather wasn’t great, it mattered not because the house was so amazing…we loved every minute of being there and Eddie couldn’t have been more helpful… You will not be disappointed with this property… Top marks for everything!! Thanks for a great Christmas holiday !

Excellent Property

Fantastic property, very clean and really spacious. Would suit groups of friends and families alike. Hot tub was wonderful also. My only suggestion would be that a very large, very easy to read sign would be beneficial at the road end, and also on the property itself, perhaps with the name of the property and “rental property” or something similar on it. This would not only help guests staying there but also taxi drivers and the like.

Lovely quiet cottage

Lovely cottage in a small quiet area, perfect for relaxing getaway. The cottage is very well laid out, with plenty of space, and a well equipped kitchen. Only slight issue was access to cleaning products, to wipe down surfaces, so we just bought our own the second day there. L Little tricky to navigate too but Eddie's instructions make it clear. Just remember to explain to taxi drivers also.

About the host

I grew up in Dundee and went to Uni at Dundee University studying Civil Engineering. I am now self employed, working in the Oil Industry in Aberdeen as a Subsea Engineer.

Why they chose this property

This property was built by my Dad in the early 2000's and has now been fully renovated, completed in 2018. Personally I love everything about this house! The location is extremely peaceful with fantastic views, and amazing walks literally from the bottom of our driveway, but we are also just a 20 minute drive from Dundee city centre. The house was recently renovated and offers the highest comfort levels, tastefully decorated, powerful showers, 2 large decks both south facing, catching the sun (subject to availability!) all day, 1 complete with 6 person Jacuzzi!

What makes this property unique

Peaceful location, relaxing house with good range of facilities, countryside setting, views, nearby walks, outdoor Jacuzzi.
