Matkat – Spittal of Glenshee

The property was very clean and the bed was comfortable with lovely linens. The kitchen was a great feature and was nice although we didn’t stay long enough to use it. Location was convenient to everything. When it was time to check in I hadn’t received my code but when I called I got that right away which was great. The only reason I didn’t rate it higher was there was no air conditioning so it was pretty warm. Also it was very loud. The living area faces a bunch of garbage cans and every so often someone would throw trash in …it was very loud. We also woke up to construction at 8:00 am which was also a bit annoying.

Perfect location. Quiet.

If you don’t care about comfort or cleanliness, this will be fine to stay at. We stayed there for two nights for my mums 70th birthday as a treat. It is marketed as a luxurious apartment however it isn’t! I had to pay an extra £25 for the sofa bedding though it is supposedly an apt for 6! Trust me, it is not! When we saw the pathetic sofa bed, a contraption whereby the back of the sofa collapses down flat, it is barely big enough for a child to sleep on let alone two people. The bedding I had to pay for consisted of 2 flat sheets, but due to the nature of the sofa bed couldn’t be tucked it so just hug over the bed. There was no topper or anything to put underneath the sheet so you were basically lying straight onto the sofa buttons and large joins in the sofa couch. There was a horrible cupboard with disgusting discoloured quilts of some sort all roughly stuffed in and I’m assuming this is the cupboard that you were to take the extra pillow from for the sofa bed. For 6 people there were two small rolls of toilet paper for the entire weekend. I’ve never gone away on holidays and had to purchase my own toilet roll. The wind coming through the curtains was crazy. The thick dust on the skirting board in one of the bedrooms showed the place hasn’t been cleaned properly in a long time. The double beds are just bigger than singles. The shower is a complete nightmare, water gushing all over the floor. Will definitely go back to using Destiny accommodation next time, not here!
