Kittock cottage is clean, homely and perfectly situated. The garden is a great size and the proximity to St Andrews is ideal. We have had a wonderful relaxing week in a lovely part of the world.

Great place for a family stay!

The property is in a great location, slightly more run down than the pictures look and the internet didn’t work during our stay. Other than that it was a great place for a family break

Fun stay

We were happy to stay here. The issues we had weren’t terrible but inconvenient. Our first night we couldn’t use the jacuzzi, it was 67 degrees and didn’t heat up til the next day. The cabin was very hot, bring an extra fan. Over all the property was very nice. Although the seating areas were very overgrown and we stuck with sitting by the fireplace. Fire wood was provided so that was super nice. We would love to stay again some time.

Beautiful

This place was really nice, I loved staying here, the location was great! And the people who also booked were friendly along with their dogs, I would stay here again! the only issues we had were, the spa wasn’t working, the TV remote was MIA lol, and the AC unit wasn’t left with a tube to connect to a window so it made it to where we had to leave our doors open to avoid it getting 90 in the room like the other cabins, but over all it wasn’t that bad because we got to fully disconnect from our normal and get fresh air (so not a huge negative for me) I Loved the outside fire pit and being able to grill and hang out with new people, super excited to come back soon! ☺️

short of expectations

when we were looking for a cabin this one was appealing because of the hot tub in the forest. to our disappointment a problem with the tub rendered it inaccessible for our stay. needless our grandsons did not get the adventure they were looking forward to.

Beautiful and Relaxing

First time renting a cabin in Payson. We mainly booked it to get our 140+ Lbs Alaskan Malamute out of the heat. We all had a wonderful time. Nice to know there are property owners that welcome our large fur babies. Owners Ken and Diane are on site if you need them. ..Thank you both as we had a wonderful relaxing get away !

Nice cottage as described. Ideal for us golfing in St Andrews and wanting to stay out of town. Plenty parking. Good WiFi but poor phone signal. The mirrors in the bedrooms gave us a laugh as they made my wife who is 5’ 3”, look 6 foot tall and me who is 6’, 7’ tall and very skinny. ;)
