While a few minor maintenance and cleanliness issues are mentioned, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a highly recommended destination for those seeking relaxation and adventure in the Scottish countryside.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, though a few noted the presence of dog hair and minor issues with rodents. These comments were outweighed by positive feedback on the overall tidiness and homely feel.
The location is widely celebrated for its breathtaking scenery, peacefulness, and proximity to nature. Guests loved the secluded setting, access to walks, and the sense of being away from it all.
Guests frequently described the cottage as cosy, comfortable, and well-suited for relaxation, with special mentions of the comfortable beds, wood burner, and hot tub. A few noted the property is a little tired, but this did not detract significantly from their comfort.
Facilities such as the hot tub, fireplace, and enclosed field were highly appreciated. Some guests mentioned minor maintenance issues (e.g., shower, extra charges for electricity and wood), but overall, the amenities contributed positively to their stay.
The host's attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond—such as helping with vehicle issues, providing local recommendations, and even arranging special experiences—were frequently praised. While some guests mentioned gifts like fresh eggs and a Christmas tree, these are not guaranteed for all stays.

If a nice quite relaxing holiday is required this definitely the place for you if you have dogs it’s the place for you if you have kids not so much, for them to do over all a good time had would recommend it especially to the older person who likes walking and out door activity

We had an absolutely brilliant time at Dalvanie Mill, even if it was just for four days! Bob saved our holiday by getting the cottage ready in a few hours when our original cottage cancelled on the day we were due to arrive! The location was stunning; tranquil , isolated and surrounded by nature. Walks into the surrounding hills will take you to lochs and woodlands. Or sit outside and watch the birds visit the feeders (including a woodpecker!)You are a good 30mins from nearest shops and the cottage is basic in terms of appliances etc. But, if you want to feel like you’re really in the Scottish wilderness then a cottage like this, which makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, is absolutely perfect. Antique furniture, wood burning fires, your own chickens that will lay you eggs each day? Brilliant. And it does have a jacuzzi! We’ll certainly be back, next time for a full Holiday 😊😊
