We had a lovely stay but breakfast was inconsistent. The second day we were left with mouldy bread or cereal. We were fine with cereal but choice was limited. Previous day we managed some delightful croissants. Parking was random - there are no dedicated spaces for residents so you take your chance. Room was comfy and clean enough. I would visit again though

Lovely location.
Beds were comfortable.

Breakfast included was a help yourself in a self service galley kitchen. Difficult when everyone has to be out at 10am. Four different couples all trying to get in to as small.

I can definitely recommend the Wandering Bear Cafe. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly. Great atmosphere.

The manager has recently taken over, is fully aware of issues, therefore it's a work in progress and he welcomes feed back.
We arrived at a difficult time. Congratulations on your new baby. We look forward to seeing the progress and would stay again.

Did not meet any staff. Check in isn’t until 4pm when the bar shuts …so pointless having it. Our stay was mid May so in season. No hoovering had been done… shower not clean. The bathroom radiator had wires showing. Basic breakfast. Over priced for facilities, cleanliness and breakfast.

Room was clean, functional and every thing worked as should, bathroom was spotless and plenty hot water and clean towels were pure white clean.
There was a communal space to sit and have food, bit disappointed bar down stairs was closed ,but not in full season so not major issue.

One recommendation is to swap the wood framed bed for a divan based, Badly injured my knee stepping down into the room hitting knee on bed frame as so close to step, this could have been avoided if was a divan which would also give bit more space in room. staff member was present when it happened and informed staff member on check out.

Over all nice property great value for money and clean and functional.

Lots of parking , good WiFi and quiet . Lovely location but just needs a bit more attention . I was the only customer and the cleaner wizzed in before I arrived sadly not actually cleaning or removing rubbish from communal area . The bin in the kitchen was full and should have been emptied prior to my arrival . The radiator in my room didn’t work and although there was an oil filled radiator it’s not ideal in a small room due to risk of hitting yourself on it. I couldn’t find a hair dryer when I needed it on the morning of departure.
The help yourself breakfast was ok although I’m not keen on using opened milk as you’re not certain how it’s been dealt with previously especially when it’s up on the day . I couldn’t see any drying cloths so had to leave items to drain as had previous occupant.

Host gave us clear instructions to avoid construction on arrival and restaurant recommendations in a nearby town (the fish place was amazing!) Parking area was easy to navigate. Common area was nice to have but filled up quickly with small children in the evening. We could hear conversations through the wall of our room from the other side but we slept well. We didn’t get to try the cafe. Overall a good value.

Poor communication from the owner - The property said it accepted dogs but you were to inform them prior to arrival - No response from owner on the subject.
To simply get in requires climbing of some very steep steps to first floor that was not mentioned on webpage - no good for mobility problems. We stayed in the stag room which although clean with a good choice of tea and coffee was very very small - no where to hand clothes, no chair.
We booked Bed and Breakfast only to arrive at the time we said to no welcoming, only a piece of paper on a door with instructions stating the booking was for room only and we had to leave for 9.30am. Again on the booking it said to depart by 11am.
Despite no breakfast being offered the welcome paper said there was a self service area stocked with complimentary breakfast items - carton of fruit juice, toffee yoghurts, drinks, milk butter (spread). However the bread was mouldy. the milk was sour, the coffee machine did not work. We could find no spoons to eat the cereal with and no jam/ marmalade for the bread.
No signs of owner on departing either.
We were very disappointed and will certainly not be visiting again

From the moment we arrived it was evident that this was going to be a wonderful place to stay. Gareth made us so welcome and gave us a wonderful recommendation for where to have dinner locally. The 'wee coo' room which we were given was a beautiful room. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the pillows were really good, which is often not the case in hotels, etc. Breakfast was served in the Wee Bear Cafe that Gareth and Anne run and it was beautiful setting. The breakfast is slightly different from the standard hotel breakfast, which was a very welcome change. It was freshly prepared and the mushrooms were outstanding. I really hope we get the opportunity to visit the lodge again as it is a great base for exploring the local area and gives you everything and more you could want from a place to stay. Hopefully next time we will be able to stay more than one night, as one night was not long enough at this wonderful place.

We were made very welcome on our arrival, shown to our room which was modern and clean. We brought our 2 dogs and had ample room. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and communicated well with all guests. The lounge was huge and comfortable. All our needs were there in lounge area ( kitchen, washing machine, tumble drier, microwave, cooker and tea coffee). The couches are comfy and huge. Our dogs spent a lot of time in lounge just lounging about. We took dogs partly round Loch (off lead) although occassional car or tractor passed. The Bear Cafe is a must with amazing homemade cakes and scones, and you get a good breakfast as well.

We expected an isolated location but not the rather difficult search for the property due to the post code covering such a large area. Third venue lucky we received a warm welcome from Gareth who showed us to our charming room which contained everything we needed, including a 'space age shower'.
I had envisaged a view over the loch but the raised banks and the wall surrounding the water made this impossible but it was only a 50 metre walk to rectify this and the views were spectacular without the loch.
I chose the location as it seemed perfect for visiting teenage holidays remembered from 50 years ago and it proved perfect.
Gareth was a charming host and his breakfasts were very well presented and received.
I would thoroughly recommend the cosy charm of the 'wee bear cafe' to all those wishing to explore this area.

Located next to the loch in beautiful surroundings just 15 mins from Kirriemuir this B&B was very spacious with very large lounge with adjourning kitchen which is for guests to use. The bedroom was nicely decorated with lovely en-suite, lovely comfy bed with top quality quilt and bedding. The premises has also got a adjoining cafe which is very handy if you fancy staying in the area. Will defiantly be going back top value for money 👍🏻

Family trip

What a wonderful place to stay.
Especially with the dog.
Gareth and Anne were fabulous hosts and nothing was an issue. (Home baking is absolutely fab too)
The information on hotels.com website does not do this place justice.
We will certainly be back

Really nice accomodation

Very comfortable stay here albeit one night only. Unusual availability of kitchen for guests to make tea or even cook with a very large lounge to relax in. Gareth is a very friendly and pleasant chap and most welcoming. Lovely big courtyard, house situated in a lovely village in Angus. Highly recommended.

Warm and welcoming rustic scenic retreat

Full of warm character and charm. Loved stargazing through the skylight, gazing at wildlife on loch through bedroom window. Big comfortable hugging sofas in a warm and sociable lounge space with plenty of board and card games. Beautiful cafe and and a generous, beautifully prepared breakfast. Hosts were warm, friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back for another stay, and have reccommended the cafe to family who live locally.
