Guests say
Clayhills Cottage is highly praised for its beautiful location, stunning views, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped and clean accommodation, perfect for privacy and exploring the Highlands. The enclosed garden is a hit with pet owners, and the open fire adds to the cottage's charm. Some minor suggestions for improvements include a welcome pack and more crockery.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' and 'well kept'. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of their stay.
The location is frequently highlighted for its peace, quiet, and stunning views. Its proximity to the Highlands and local attractions makes it an ideal base for exploring the area.
The cottage is often described as cosy and comfortable, with an open fire and comfortable furnishings. However, one mention of a cold stone tile floor suggests room for slight improvement in comfort during colder months.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and powerful shower. However, comments about insufficient crockery and a noisy water pump indicate some areas could be enhanced.
While guests do not consistently mention gifts or welcome packs, there are suggestions that such additions would be appreciated. It should be noted that while welcome packs are a lovely touch, they are not guaranteed.

Superb little cottage, perfect for our break before Christmas. Kitchen is well equipped. Stone tile floor could be cold to stand on so next time would take slippers. Living room is comfortable and well decorated. Living room has a three seater, two seater and an armchair, so plenty of options. Smart tv and WiFi. Open fire was very welcome on cold nights - use coal and logs for a very toasty fire. Only used one bedroom but double bed comfortable - no lumpy mattress! Plenty of storage for clothes. Bathroom well equipped. Shower very powerful and plenty of hot water and great water pressure. Expect the water pump could be noisy for those using the twin bedroom as it is located in a cupboard in that room. Enclosed garden has great views and handy for dogs and kids although it is not escape proof so beware if you have a dog or child that likes to escape - wasn’t an issue for us. The front and rear porches have no heating so these were cold but we only used the rear porch for shoe and coat storage. Plenty of parking to the side of the cottage with outdoor security lighting. No problems or issues whilst we were there. Jen, the owner was helpful but not at all intrusive.

We had a wonderful stay here. The place was cozy, peaceful, and perfect for our family getaway from the busy city. Staying here was one of the best parts of our Scotland trip. Wed definitely come back again!
