Guests say

Kilnary Cottage is highly praised for its comfort, cleanliness, and beautiful location. Guests appreciate the well-maintained property, underfloor heating, and wildlife views. While some minor issues were noted, the overall experience is of a peaceful and enjoyable stay with a desire to return.

The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotlessly clean' and 'exceptionally clean'. This suggests a very high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.

The location is celebrated for its beautiful views and peacefulness, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. The rural setting and wildlife sightings contribute to the positive feedback, although the access road condition was a minor concern for some.

Comfort is consistently noted, with the underfloor heating and spaciousness being particular highlights. However, a few guests mentioned issues with bed comfort and the lack of a welcome pack, slightly affecting the overall comfort score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being equipped to a high standard. Some guests suggested improvements such as clearer instructions for heating controls and minor maintenance issues, which indicates room for enhancement.

While guests do not expect gifts, the absence of a welcome pack was noted by several reviewers. The provision of basic grocery items upon arrival would be a thoughtful touch and enhance the initial experience of the cottage.

    Everything you need to have a wonderful holiday is there. Only negative for us were that the beds are quite low and not very wide. Think the beds have seen better days as we’re not very comfortable unfortunately. The tap in the kitchen is in desperate need of a new washer. Other than that, this cottage is a fantastic place to stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our week in Scotland and were able to spend quality time with family who live locally. Thank you x

    Lovely, private, modern, spacious and clean, with everything we needed. Perfect for a peaceful holiday. Thank you. We did take up the carpet runner in the hallway as it kept slipping, when we walked on it. Would be safer with sticky pads on it.

    Ideal peaceful location for exploring all that Aberdeenshire has to offer.
