Guests say
Wonderland Cottage in Cupar is a charming and quirky holiday rental that has received high praise for its unique Wonderland theme, cosy atmosphere, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests have enjoyed the enchanting garden, the property's proximity to local amenities and scenic walks, and the warm welcome provided by the host. While some guests noted areas for improvement, the overall sentiment is one of a magical and memorable stay.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotless and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable and inviting stay. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cobwebs, dead flies, and a mouldy washing machine compartment, which slightly impacted the overall cleanliness perception.
The cottage's location is appreciated for its proximity to local shops, the River Tay, and walking paths. Guests enjoyed the convenience of nearby amenities and the ease of exploring Perth, Dundee, and Fife. Parking and the appearance of the local town were minor concerns for some.
Guests have found the beds comfortable and the living spaces cosy, particularly highlighting the warmth of the cottage during colder months. Some guests, however, mentioned an uncomfortable sofa and issues with the heating system, which suggests room for improvement in overall comfort.
While guests were generally pleased with the facilities, including the kitchen and bathroom, there were comments about the lack of instructions for appliances, an underperforming oven, and the need for decluttering worktops for meal preparation. The garden's maintenance and the presence of the host during their stay were also noted.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests expressing gratitude for welcoming touches such as scones, tea sets, and other treats upon arrival. It is noted, however, that such gestures, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

This delightful ancient wee house is furnished by its loving owner with flair and imagination which is such a welcome change from the modern bland decor offered in too many holiday homes. The garden is full of tiny surprises and sheltered enough to eat outside even in October, given half-decent weather. The kitchen is well-equipped enough for creating proper meals if you want to bother, and you might, as Newburgh is not a âtouristyâ area with a huge choice of places to eat. (Jamesfield Farm is excellent and so is the Village Inn at Bridge of Earn). Wonderlandâs bathroom is astounding, and has a walk-in shower as well as the enormous bath. The stairs are steep with a handrail one side, so if you have arthritic knees like I have but perhaps are no longer used to stairs, youâd need to be careful. We would love to stay again sometime and enjoy the magical experience once more. Marion MacDonald

Itâs a unique place! We felt immediately at home⦠it is not only decorated with lots of love and extremely well kept⦠it has all amnesties that you could possibly ask for: the beds are very comfortable and offer lots of space to unpack your own thingsâ¦the bathroom is fantastic as well for relaxing in a private spa day at home! The sitting room is so cozy and at the same time technically modern equipped in regard of entertainment and WIFI! The kitchen is perfectly layed out with a huge American Fridge.. large gas stove a kitchen equipment is offered in generous amount and condition. The cottage is not only comfortable but the perfect place to clear your head completely. If the weather conditions allowâ¦the garden offers lots of nice sitting areas to enjoy..for reading, relaxingâ¦teatime etc.. The cottage is nicely located..as it offers tranquility being in the backâ¦and at the same time only a few minutes walk from the Coop, bakery or the lovely rose gardens or green alongside the river Tay! Wonderful and we will be definitely coming back! Thank you so much!

So many great places to explore in the surrounding area (really enjoyed the tour at Lindores Abbey Whisky Distillery - within walking distance!) The gardens at the cottage were lovely - and thanks so much to our host for taking us down the Rabbit Hole! We'd definitely recommend this cottage - in fact, we have sung its praises to a number of friends already (though it might not be your cup of tea if you are a minimalist!!)
